I need to replace all my rotors and pads and I’m on a budget, any suggestion or you is good base on your experience other OE parts, I already bought the rotors and pads but I want to get some advise before I put it on.

i bought the Centric premium high carbon rotors, z23 front pads and Bosch quietcast rear pads comes with hardware.

How much did you spend? Just this week I bought the R1 rotors from ebay ($312) and akebono pads off ebay ($75 for fronts, $55 for rears). Also got new parking brake pads from amazon ($31) for a total of about $450. I was very surprised how cheap the parts were!

I spend a little less than $100 for all 4 rotors and pads, all from amazon because free shipping and easy return.

Jaguar parts is not popular as other brand on Amazon, you can find some crazy deals if you spend time to search, I paid $23.00 included shipping for pair of powerstop rear rotors.

Default Link please?

I have been hunting rotors/pads for weeks, and have never seen Powerstop rotors anywhere near that. Any chance you can post a link? Right now I see X350 326 mm Powerstop rotors (Brake Rotors were increased in size for the 2006 Model Year to 326 mm from 288 mm from Chassis: G49700) between $56 and 70. If I could match your price they would be shipping tonight lol!

Default Amazon

Amazon, people normally shop the 1st couple pages, go through all pages, sometimes you find those crazy deal, they change their price all the time. I was not shopping for these, I just pick whatever the best deal.


Front pads and rear rotors for $40 included 2 days shipping instead of $150 plus $28 shipping from other site.

You need to spend time to search, that’s why I bought front pads and rear rotors, because that’s what they have at that price....Lol, otherwise, I would bought the whole set.....

they still have it for a little more, you see they sell same rotors 3 times different in price.

if you go online now, they still have for $18 each
