Yes I'm the supplier my Name is Rob...

 

What are the details? Spec. sheets? How much are they? What is lead time if you order them? Who is the actual manufacturer?

 

Yeah, I’m not sure why there is so much mystery. If you’re a distributor, please describe how to purchase them? If not, where did you buy them?

 

Still confirming everything with the manufacturer once they have all options sorted and up to my standards. Will put all of you in direct contact with the manufacturer. So let's all relax...

 

Anyway, the point of this thread was to show the VAP post on Instagram and see if there were any updates. I’m sure the reason it was posted was to get folks like those on this forum talking so I hoped for an update.

I am relaxed.

 

Perfect no intentions to hijack the thread or **** on VAP...just was sharing there are lots of options coming out now...

 

The best rotors I've ever used are giro discs...hoping VAP is doing an OEM with them as they are amazing and worth the cost.

 

I’m happy to say the timing couldn’t have been better…the “worn brakes” light just came on the dash and VAP has their rotors up on their site. New rotors and pads are on the way for 60lbs in weight savings! I’ll keep you posted on install/performance.

 

100% Correct! We've partnered with Girodisc to bring out some options for the F-Types, and hope to expand that to fit a few of the other Jags.

 

P b brakes
got them on mine
They are awesome
Massive calipers and discs and superb pedal feel

 

Are those calipers TUV or other tested/approved. I worry about safety on things where I don't know the source/vendor.

Giro Disc and OEM stuff is "known, safe" to me. While I very much love the look of those in the post just before this one, I don't currently know enough about them to say if they are safe and at 60+mph I want to know my brakes work. Every single time.

 

Look on their website

 

Link?

 

Google p b brakes
a few of us have them and they are awesome

 

Thanks.


Lots of questions:

What do you do for pad sensing - I assume just visual.

How thick is our 380mm? They have two thicknesses noted.

If one has 326mm rear's, do you do the 330mm or can you increase the size...if you increase the size, do they provide an adapter?

How did the electronic parking brake adapter work out if anyone has padd the extra 500 whatever units..

I am still leaning toward leaving my OEM's on get and getting the VAP products (hopefully they have the 326 rear option out in the near future...but the stock 326mm rotors are not "that" heavy or even worn...so not sure bigger in the rear will add anything for me......stock 326's are the same weight as the larger rear two pieces at 376mm.......the front stock rotors are boat anchors...

I am not tracking this F type... so the stock calipers seem ok (I put SRF fluid in as that is my go to fluid....hard to ever get things hot enough on the street to need more. May not even be possible given how good SRF is. How much weight do the calipers save? Just curious....may be a lot or may be nothing.


TY

 

Girodisc, for me is the gold standard. If you listen to these guys talk about the products - I had the pleasure of listening to some analysis of some 'other' products, not going to name anything - you understand that they really know their stuff, and their parts are really high standard.

 

Everything works as per oe
electronic parking break
I have the 380 floating discs front and rear 380x34f 380x28r
8 pot front caliper
6 pot rear
Street pads
Electronic parking brake
you cannot compare the standard brakes to these
It's like driving a non servo car and then driving a Ferrari the difference is amazing and easily comparable to carbon ceramics
Don't. Get me wrong the Vap discs are a excellent choice but they need to develop a decent caliper upgrade
It's not difficult you. Just need the caliper bracket

 

Any info on actual ship dates of the rotors Stuart?

 

About a week or two at this point, depending on the timing for anodizing.

 

I would happily participate in XJ rotors.
