Default older s-type r and 06-07 s-type r different brakes?

i know they have different calipers, but is there any price difference between pads and rotors for the 2 different brake set-ups between the years? all the guys who answered my other brake thread had 03's, so i just wanna make sure i get the right info. seems like i can get a set of complete front pads for about 130 and a set of front rotors for about 230. does that sound about right for an 07 if you don't use the freakin dealer and go through an online brake supplier? thanks.

#BRP-20024 these are for the 06-07 front rotors, you will need to call for the price though.. 1-866-756-5536

FRONT PADS #PS-12400 Semi-Metallic Premium Pads
$57.59

call for the rotor price first and they offer free shipping. these are for the 06-07 vehicles

There are lots of people out there with more money than sense, and plenty of service writers (at dealerships and elsewhere), ready to relieve them of all that troublesome cash.

I do my own work. I've calculated that in the last nine years I've saved myself about $10,000 in labor and parts costs by scouring the internet for good deals, and performing the work myself(on maintenance, upgrade, and repair work) as opposed to just taking it to a dealership (or even an independent mechanic).

I too endorse brake performance, ask for Andy, mention Erik from JaguarForums and ask him to see if he can give you a deal on them.

Hes always done a great job for me, killer prices, includes shipping, and even verifies VIN to ensure they send you the right stuff the first time.

Does anyone have the specs on the diameter measurements for the rotors??? (2003 R)

And does Brake Performance have the correct specs for the rotors, as I am getting ready to order a set of front and rear rotors.

TIA...
