Hi all
I know this has been covered in the past somewhat, but to avoid trying to wake old threads did anyone have any success finding any manufacturer or supplier that can do front and rear floating discs for xkrs alcon brakes? im looking everywhere and can't find anything!
Really appreciate any help anyone can give!
Cheers
Steve

Thanks guy, they don't seem to list xkrs, and I was after the full 2 piece discs, so rotors and bells, thanks for the link though! Steve

 

The -S has the same brakes as an XKR. Try looking for those.

 

Thanks cee jay, I am looking for xkrs ones, thats the larger alcon ones found on the 2008 xkrs.. not much joy so far, I have matt from spires looking for me currently but options are welcome! Steve

I forget sometimes that the third world had XKR-S-es in 2008 with Portfolio brakes.
So, why wouldn't the link guy posted get you close? 400mm Alcon. I got results, but without the centers.

 

Cause when you select Jaguar, XKR does not show up as a selection.

 

Rockauto's website shows aftermarket sources for Alcon rotors for 2009 4.2L XKR models. Prices are ridiculously low.

 

Is this ok now Stuart?

 

Third world? I'm in the uk?.. and the 2008 xkrs had the big alcon brakes as std, the later cars it was an option.. the link did not list xkrs, and what use are the discs without the centres anyway? are you being funny? all I was after was some help?

 

I thought the xkr-s did not come out to 2011. I could be mistaken.

Moreover, the Alcon rotor is a 2 piece rotor. The “disc” part of the rotor can be separated from the “mounting” part.
Perhaps you are unaware but there are in fact 3 sizes of brakes for your year of car. The regular, the upsized and, the Alcons.
The exact fitting is based on the model and options.

Based on your statement “what use are the discs without the centres” I am left wondering if you actually have the optional Alcon package or upsized discs which came as standard equipment for the xkr. If the Alcons, see above.
For the benefits of the 2 piece Alcons, see this: https://alconkits.com/pages/oem-fit-two-piece-rotors

 

Check with AP racing in the yUK

Maybe Cee Jay was thinking you were inhabiting Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's "third world" a French philosopher and paleontologist, proposed the concept of a “Third World” – a realm of collective consciousness and thought that transcends the physical and biological worlds.

 

Swallows Racing have them supplied from Tarox. @Stuart@VelocityAP Velocity AP in BC have 2-piece discs though perhaps not on hand for yours and Wortec also had some at one point. Matt @ Spires used to offer an AP racing option which I ran at one time before switching to Tarox.

 

There must be some floating out there somewhere

 

yuck, yuck, yuck

 

Yes, better. But can be improved with a signature that's automatic when you finish your post. See my signature below that lists details of my cars. Year and model is helpful because of differences - 4.2L/5.0l, NA/SC, etc.

 

Hi Guy,
Cheers for the reply,
xkrs appeared first in 2008 (in the uk), as a 4.2, came with the larger alcon discs and calipers (thats the 400mm fronts and separate handbrake/rears), speedpack kit, raised speed limiter and vortex forged wheels thats the 10.5 inch rears!, charcoal alcantara headliner.. one year only model with changes to the shape of front bumper, (only a 2008 speedpack splitter fits.. ask me how I know!)

Yes there are 3 sizes of disc, the xk, the xkr and the alcon

Currently I have the larger xkr brakes with single piston floating caliper front and handbrake/rear combined, I'm replacing with alcons all round and am hoping to find 2 piece discs either floating or bolt together to with them
On the link I could only see the replacement discs listed rather than the discs and bells which I would need..
Sorry I hope that makes it clearer :-)

 

Ok i'll do my best, im old and far from technicaly competant on a computer! Steve
