Hello,

2007 Jaguar XK 2.4 Coupe Base owner here.
I have been looking for proper information regarding the compatibility of some EBC products, hoping you guys can help me out. I really want slotted and drilled rotors (sure for looks) and preferably not made in China, which puts me at Hawk and EBC only, and Hawk is not compatible on all wheels...so here I am with EBC as my only choice.
The EBC Parts Finder says "compatible", yet every authorized dealer linked from EBC 's site says "not compatible". I have looked at the specs, and it seems the rotors should be compatible. I'm looking at:

EBC S5KF1896 (kit with yellow stuff) Front Specs: Pad No. D1241; Vented; 5 Bolt Holes; 326mm Dia.; 47mm Height; 30mm Thick; 71mm Center Hole Dia.
and
EBC S5KR1598 (kit with yellow stuff) Rear Specs: Pad No. D1095; Vented; 5 Bolt Holes; 326mm Dia.; 38mm Height; 20mm Thick; 64.3mm Center Hole Dia.


So are they actually compatible? Am I missing something? Do I need to buy them separately instead to fit? Please advise.


2nd question if applicable: the same is available with Bluestuff. EBC S6KF1245 and S6KR1186 (same specs I believe) which EBC Parts Finder also says "compatible" andauthorized sellers say "not compatible". But if they are, does anyone recommend yellow vs blue or vice versa?

Thank you all in advance, I included the images of the kits (sorry they are so large, I couldn't resize them)

The pad numbers are the same Akebono ceramic pad numbers I have listed for my
08 XK (if that means anything), don't know about the rotors.

 

Definitely! Should mean the pads are indeed compatible. Takes care of half the problem. Lol. There seems to be a lack of proper databases for these specs on both Jaguar side and the third party products sold.

 

I'm watching this thread in interest. I too am looking to upgrade to drilled and/or slotted rotors. Havn't purchased anything yet and only been searching a little so far.

 

I found detailed specifications on the XK braking system through one of our members (sorry I do not recall the post). But it lacks the centre bore / centre hole diameter (an important detail). Maybe a person better versed in these specs can chime in.

 

CB is 63.4 06 -11MY

I used EBC pads, and rotors sourced from Summit Racing on my XK rear brakes. If you want drilled/slotted, I used R1 Concepts rotors from Rock Auto with Porterfield pads on my F-Type.

 

Those fronts definitely wrong with a 71mm center bore. Center bore is 63.4 as noted above by @Sean W .

 

Completed the brake upgrade on the XK. CQuence rotors, Akebono Euro ceramic pads. Now to bed in the pads..........

 

Brake parts are Ford. 2005 Ford Thunderbird and X150 Jag have same rotors. Many parts on X150 are dual use, Ford?Jaguar/Rover.
