Hey Greg, I just started a thread a few below about doing my S Type Rs...I started speaking with brakeperformance.com regarding their products today actually. So far they have had top notch customer service and seem to be like a price leader, a small company really helps too...others on here swear by their quality too so well see.

I think a lot of people on here like the EBC ceramic red stuff pads. If you get the cross drilled rotors please post a follow-up with a picture and let us know if they are working out. Thanks

I have a set of the Akebonos both up front and on the rear brakes. There is vitually no brake dust and the ceramic pads do a great job stopping the car.

Greg: Ask for Andy, tell him Erik From The Jaguar Forums Referred you to him on the S Type R. Hes nice n smart, def not some random phone operator. I totally agree on the brake dust issue. What surprised me more is when ive had regular S types to drive they are just as bad!

Jason: for all 4 slotted/dimpled rotors and pads youre looking at around $725 shipped

I gotta ask. Name those offensive tires so we don't end up with them assuming we don't already own 'em.

Interesting...I talked with brakeperformance a few weeks ago and was quoted $859 for all four dimpled/slotted rotors with pads....I wonder why the price flux...
