AKEBONO EUR394A Brake Pad

FOR MY 2003 JAGUAR XJR AND MY DAD WHO KNOWS CARS WELL AND ALREADY LOOKED AT MY ROTORS AND PADS TOOK ONE LOOK AT THEM AND SAID THEY WILL NOT FIT AS THEY HAVE 1 CLIP FOR THE PISTON CALIPER WHILE MY 2003 XJR HAS 4 PISTONS ON EACH CALIPER...2 ON EACH SIDE OF THE ROTOR...I AM CONFUSED CAN SOMEONE CLARIFY IF I HAVE AFTERMARKET CALIPERS OR SOMETHING SPECIAL OR IF THESE PADS WILL STILL WORK BEFORE I GO AND GET THE WHEELS OFF AGAIN..THANKS

 

Do you have Brembo brakes on the car? If so, that pad is listed for '03 XJR "except Brembo."

Jaguar XJ8/XJR Big Brake Kit (Grey Calipers)

5,700 FOR THIS BREMBO R PACKAGE..WOW WISH I HAD SEEN THIS EARLIER..AT LEAST I GOT THE CORRECT 355 MM ROTORS..ANYONE HAVE A BRAKE PAD THEY RECOMMEND FOR THE BREMBO PACKAGE

 

A lot of people with the Brembos seem to have really good luck with the Ferodo DS2500 pad. It's a little aggressive, but still very streetable. I ran them in my 06 Mustang GT for a while, and really loved them besides being a little dusty.

 

I use Textar on our customers and have not complaints so far.

i was in a rush since my dad is leaving in a week and went with ebc redstuff DP31110C. 97.00 for them and even though i did not like them on my vdp i figure maybe with new rotors i will see the results everyone that praises them talk about.
