Default S-Type Brakes-Please Help

I have 2000 Jaguar S-type V6. Doing research on brakes and I see brembo mostly for instructions. Can my standard be switched to Brembo and does anyone have links with step by step and pics that describe changing out and bleeding brakes? Thank you for any help.

There is nothing wrong with the oem setup. Going aftermarket or chasing a brand name is money wasted.

If you're talking about the Brembo brakes that were on 2003 and up S type-Rs, the components alone will cost more than your car is worth. Braking performance will only be marginally better.

You'll be shocked at how many things would also need changing. Just the handbrake will be a killer. EPB....

as the other members said - total waste of time and $ and OEM set up more than sufficient for your car..
