Default Performance Brake Kits for the X-Type?

What kinds of brake upgrade options do we have out there? I found some Disc Italia rotors on Brakesworld.com, but I can't find any complete kits (rotors, calipers, lines, etc.)

I might just get the rotors and use the stock calipers. Any help?

I am looking into the same thing, i will give you a heads up when i find anything. I hear alot of good things about ceramic, plus they dont dust that bad either. Right now I am looking into a new exhaust for my mazda.

Brake dust was one of the reasons I went for the ceramics and I'm glad i did.Virtually no dust now mostly just road grime that just wipes off

Hey Gotti.........heard sooo many good things about EBC Redstuff ceramic pads married up to their slotted / dimpled anodised rotors........for serioussss stopping power and reduced brake dust.
Thats what Buck has used and quite a few others too.
Think about it...........Jaguar as an OEM use Greenstuff pads from the same supplier, redstuff is the next upgrade.
You can type in scooby 58 at the checkout for 15% discount too.
As for the calipers and brake lines.......no help, sorry.

ORIGINAL: bojangles
My OEM brakes were shitty........... probably the worst part of the Jag...
Now that comment, I agree with!
Standard brakes just don't seem anywhere near good enough for a car of this size / class, but, that topics been done to death before.
