Default 2010 XK Brakes -> XKR Brakes

Been searching the forum a lot for information on a potential brake upgrade. I have two XKR calipers sitting in storage. I'd like to do a full upgrade of my 2010 XK brakes to XKR brakes--at least calipers and rotors, and whatever else I would need for them to fit. Has anyone done this before? I see some speculation on what to get and if they will fit. There are lots of posts in pieces but I want to hear if anyone has actually done it. My XK has 20" Portfolio Wheels so clearance shouldn't be an issue.

Let me know,
Joey

Awesome. I actually live in Las Vegas so I am going to call Gaudin to see what they can do. I'll let you guys know what comes of that.

Cheers,
Joey

Gaudin won't do it so I may just paint my calipers because I don't feel like stressing to find a company. Womp womp.

Why not go with an AP or Willwood brake kit? Both are British and fitting for such an application.

Because they don't make a bolt on brake kit, that I can see, for a 2010 XK.

I think you may have to dig deeper on that. Just because they do not mention a direct fit does not mean there is one. What other cars are using the same calipers? Are they Atev?

AP Racing mentions kits for Jaguar. Perhaps a call to them when help. I really love the AP Brakes on my Lotus. Very little dusting and grab like no other brake I have owned.
