Couldn't be happier, they look amazing and the cost was $503.00 for rotors and brakes. Getting them installed next week.

 

They look great ...where from ? No additional requirements to install ?
Thanks

 

Can you tell us what the install is costing? Post some completed photos.

 

They were bought on Ebay R1concepts store. All OEM spec just be sure it says supercharged, they list what XF's they will fit. For example these will for the STR and 4.2 supercharged XF. But not the 5.0 supercharged. They sell for any and all. I believe the 5.0 XF is a little more money. They also have just cross drilled or slotted. I got both.

 

Believe it or not. I called some local shops and was surprised that my local Jaguar beat everyone's price. Which I'm happy about, cause I'd rather have Jaguar do it. Cost is $500

 

Looking forward to your pictures and comments.

 

That is hard to believe. And I'm even more surprised that they are willing to install non-Jaguar parts.

 

Believe it, when I originally called I asked for a quote on brakes and rotors and it was in the $3,000 range, so on the same conversation I asked, well what if I brought my parts. He responded no problem we will just charge you labor. As far as not being jaguar parts? Well, they are a automotive shop, they charge labor just like any other mom and pops mechanic. That's like me saying you can't trade in your Chevy, this is a Jaguar dealership. At the end of the day it's still a car lot. Why would you think they would turn away labor? They installed my lowering springs for $250 last year.

 

Dropped the cat off today, should get back tomorrow evening. Wheels and tires next. I hate looking at the cat lowered and the wheels sunk in. I know I could have bought spacers, but I'm gonna wait for the wheels with the right offset to be flush.

 

Post some pics please...and maybe some part numbers for your r1 brake and rotor package ? Thanks !

 

No problem. I will have to dig up. They were already a package on ebay put together for $503, so not sure part numbers.

 

They are not smart to do it. If those brake parts don't perform well, you could easily blame them for a bad install and they would be between a rock and hard place trying to keep you as a happy customer.

People are nuts, so if you don't think they would do that, well....

 

Any pics of them installed and/or driving opinions? My rear brakes are toast and I'm considering this set, but it would run me about $150 more than similar, but not as good looking, powerstops.

 

Should have the car tomorrow. The car was supposed to be done today. And of course they called me and said I was bleeding boost and I had to replace what they call the NEST, apparently a few hoses behind the supercharger. So $610 later, should have the car tomorrow.

 

Well, here they are!!!

 

Those look killer! Any first impressions? I'm guessing you haven't been able to fully break them in yet.

 

Initial impression is awesome! Only drove about 30 miles, but no squeaks, grinding, or vibration. Feels like a new car. Now I'm in need of new wheels and tires so I can bring my wheels out flush. I'm gonna go with 21" wheels, but still trying to figure out the tire figuration I'm gonna go with cause I'm lowered. I'm thinking either 245/35 front 285/30 rear, or 255/30 front 295/25 rear.

 

Rotors look awesome !!!! Why going to different rims ?

 

Are you going with more pen wheel to show off the rotors?

 

I dunno. Those rotors look very tiny inside those wheels already. Unfashionably tiny. The look nowadays is to have the rotor fill the inside of the rims.

Going to 21s is going to make them look even more freakishly tiny.

Too bad they don't have a kit with much bigger rotors and the necessary brackets to mount the existing calipers on the new rotors. I've seen those for other car models.
