Default X300 Brake Rotor question.

hi, I have a 96 XJ6 and just purchased the akebono euro brake pads for the front and rear, I am wondering what are some good rotors to go with that? I know brembo is the best, what would be another good rotor thats close to bembo but cheaper? What do you think of zimmermann???

Zimmerman are good. For normal driving, you really can't go wrong. Eurospares and Brake Engineering are also good brands.

Ken knows better than I do which are good ones. I only wanted to comment that the Akebono pads don't require anything special by way of rotors....if that's what you were thinking...and maybe it wasn't....so I'll shuddup :-)


Naturally you don't want sub-grade rotors (or anything else) on a Jag, though, of course.


I bought rotors at the local Napa and they work fine but if Ken has specific recommendations I go with them

Cheers
