Default Brake Pads

Hi
I have the followings cats
94 XJS Conv 6.0L V12
95 XJS Conv AJ16
95 XJR AJ16
97 XJR AJ16

I would like to know what the brand is of the brake calipers (ATE? JURID? ...) so I know what brake pads to install?
FYI I live in Ontario Canada and use the 97 XJR as my daily driver.

Greatly appreciated.

The X300 NA and XJR brakes are the same, and are an ATE system.

If you go to your local auto parts store or something like Rockauto, you'll see there is only one type of pads for all the X300 models.

The Akebono "Euro" ceramic pads are regularly recommended for low dust, longevity and good braking performance.

For example, from Rock Auto for both XJ6 and XJR:

Front AKEBONO EUR394A
Rear AKEBONO EUR688

Thanks for the info.
To resume all X300 models have the same brake system ATE.
But what about my 94 V12 and the 95 AJ16 XJS models? Do they have the same brake system?
Thanks
