Default Cheapest Place For STR Rotors

Trying to get prices on rotors, but i seem to be going no where. Seems what people list on their websites is not the correct rotor for my STR with the large brembo's, go figure.

I contacted Brake performance and got this:

Default Some ideas for you

I don't need them as yet but here's a thread I started about 03-05 STR brakes when I was looking for my car.

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...t=brake+rotors


Here's a direct link to a vendor who "appears" to have the correct rotors in a couple of formats as well as pads. The diameters listed match the 03-05 cars. The later STR rotors ARE NOT THE SAME. A lot of vendors out there have this all screwed up.

http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/...f4ca93d6946aa6

I've used the Porterfield pads on another vehicle and they are great. I didn't get them for my 05 STR though. I went with the Akebonos that a number of people on here really like.

Try the search function too.

brakeperformance rotors are fine, but i DO NOT recommend their pads. I have their top of the line "premium" semi-mettalics and am very dissapointed. Noisy and grinding.

Akebonos to go on soon.
