Default 98 XJR Where 2 Find Brakes

My front/rear slotted/cross drilled rotors are ready to be replaced. Looking for some direction on where to go for new-slotted/drilled rotor package with pads. Also want to replace the calipers. Suggestions of online companies with great prices...

Thank you for reading//

You could try the Tyre Rack, Welsh Enterprises, FCP Groton....there are any number of places, start searching on Google.
The Brembo combo is rather expensive.
You could try replacing your rotors with EBC....along with their pad combinations.

I started looking for rotors for my 2003 XJR with Brembos last month. Contacted the guys at Stoptech and they linked me to Centric parts who has the following;

I don't know if they will work on yours, but they seem to be reasonably priced for my car.

Why do you want to replace the calipers? Originally the rotors were ventilated but not slotted/ drilled.

Thank you for all the reply's.

@yeldogt
I am looking to replace the calipers because they are 14yo and I am going to be retiring this XJR to SW Florida at my condo. I do not have access to a garage (except the dealer across street for $154hr) I have spent the past four years piecing this car back together. It was belching oil into the airfilter, the transmission was smoked. The car is now perfect again. Except better with a new transmission and is a beneficiary of a Jag warranty engine rebuild I was able to snag from a guy that had a 98 his son had wrapped around a tree. I have an 94XJ12 White/White with the white rims in the wings that does not need much/major tune up,shocks and bushings and I am looking for another 98-00 XJR with a blown motor or trans, this time I am doing a GM conversion.
