2000 XJR

SP Performance Slotted Rotors (Pair) Brake Rotors for your 2000 JAGUAR XJR-S - TopBrakes.com

Decent rotors -or- what would you do?

Opinions please: I promise my feeling won't be hurt

 

Rotors are not a very high tech parts so, as long that the metal/casting used is of good quality, you will have no issue.
Couple of notes:
The link is for the rear and since the rear do very little braking, "cheap" rotors are OK.
Slots/grooves are OK, cross drilled is not.
I love their "distance to a full stop" graph
Did you notice the distance.. 20 and 30..... feets!!!!!!
Must have been a braking test from 5mph. Lol

 

Hah, I did not notice the feetS. That alone kills them as a possible supplier for me. Maybe I'll just stick with the EBC premium stock replacements.

 

Get some custom Hi Spec lightweight rotors... about $600 for initial cost, but then its only $100 for replacements... only available for the front though

 

That is still an option...just don't know if I want to spend that much yet.

 

Curious.. what is "custom hi spec lightweight rotors" ?

Are we talking 2 pieces rotor with an aluminum hat?

 

Yes, its a two piece rotor with alum. hat. Weights 12.5 lbs vs stock 21 lbs

 

And, worth adding, removing 8.5 lbs of rotational weight is something like the same as 34 lbs of dead weight, so x 2 = the same as removing 68 lbs from the car, so if my calculations are remotely correct, that would shave .068 seconds off a 1/4 mile time, or about 2/3 of a car length at the end of 1320 feet.

 

I am running on cross-drilled rotors, Goodridge steel brake line with super blue fluid

 

I would like to use smaller rear discs to fit 15" wheels and 275/50/15 DRs.
