Default bosch

after messing around with brakes..

i actually paid attention to something.

my abs relay, calipers, and caliper bracket are all bosch. not jaguar

anyone have any feedback on this? i guess what im asking is how is bosch? im not going to replace anything - but im curious how bosch brake systems are performance wise compared to jaguar oem.

Nothing is wrong with that and Bosch is the best one in such systems .Namely after done with Lucas , that's like godsend if you ask my opinion .
GM's main products supplier are AC Delco but brake systems are Bosch . I believe Bosch was the inventor of ABS as well .

I wouldnt be surprised if some of the Bosch electronics were made by Bosch to Jaguar specification anyway

Because the cars using Lucas electonics suffered from many diseases , broke downs , failures and much .
Rolls Royce Silver Clouds were the most troublesome cars in regards to electronics and bear in mind we are talking about a century ago (those were '70s rides =20th century . You know todays cars come with more electronics by default ) .And guess what ? They did use Lucas
There was a joke thread about Lucas electronics and even this thread alone might be enough to take a picture
