Question about 2016 XF-R sport brakes

Hi,

I am driving 2016 XF-R Sport 3.0L V6 24V GDI DOHC Supercharged. I got a break pads alert and looking to change all four of them along with rotors. While I am looking online for brake kits, I am confused to choose which are the perfect fit. Below are the options I see

1. 350mm front rotors
2. 355mm front rotors

I went through the manual and did not find exact numbers. If anyone have any suggestions very much appreciated. 🙂

Sorry I can't give you the answer but am very curious about how many miles you have on the car. Did you look at the pads to see how much material was remaining? New pads are.5" in the front and .4" in the rear.

Right now vehicle is on 34000 miles. I checked pads and they are not looking good. Thanks for the reply though.

Only way to tell is to actually measure the rotors yourself, it won't be listed in specs.

Notice the beveled edges and the thicker center of the pad. These are my brake pads after 36000 miles. Initially, I thought my pads were shot until I used my phone camera to see the center. Can you send us a picture like this one?
