Default Brake rotor.

Hi guys.
Im having a 2010 XF.
And it needs to change the brake pads and brake rotors from the rear wheels.
Can you guys tell me which brake pads and brake rotor to get? Sorry guys im pretty new with cars. And where to get it too? Im in the Orange County, SoCal.
Thank you.

Default Check the How To section.

Here's a link the HOW TO section at the top of the page for the complete brake job guide. There's good links to parts.

I'm doing well with stoptech pads and centric carbon rotors. Pads were around $40 or so per axle, rotors were around $70 each (plus shipping) . All procured through rock auto.

How are those rotors holding up? On previous cars I typically have purchase name brand rotors. However, knowing I was selling my last car, I put on no name rotors that, while they worked fine, were covered in rust within 2 months. Functionally, they were fine. But cosmeticLly, they looked horrible. I am not saying the rotors in the above post are bad. Just keep in mind that you generally get what you pay for. Many name brand rotors will be or offer the option of plating to keep the rust off non-friction surfaces.

I don't know if the rust would be a concern as my factory rotors have rust on lot of places.

Here are few sources for cheap OEM parts.

Jaguar Parts - Jaguar Parts Center - Call (800) 510-1401 for Genuine Jaguar Parts and Accessories

2011 Parts - Direct JPLV Porsche Parts.com

The front rotors are $180 each ($300 at the dealer)
Front wear sensors $35 each ($80)
Front pads $145 for the set ($200)

Autozone sells Duralast rotors for $99 a piece and they give two year warranty.

Rust shouldn't be a structural concern, it is more a cosmetic issue than anything else. That said, I have had success with Zimmerman and brembo branded rotors that have been zinc plated. I have also had success with stoptech rotors, but those were part of a big brake upgrade with calipers. There are also plenty of other brands out there, but those are the ones I have used.

Don't want to thread jack. (But I'm going to)
Didnt the my2010 come with platinum coverage for 4 years?
And if it does. Does it cover rotors?
I do realize it is. 2014 now and so you might be just up on coverage?
