XK (notXKR!) Brake Pad usage.......
Hi,
Has anyone tried mixing brake pad types. eg. Akebono Ceramics on rear and OEM type on front.
Is this going to work out OK; not sure the ABS will like it or notice ?
Seems to be the only partial solution to brake dust; tried the wax thing (ArmourAll) on the wheels, didn't seem to help much..........
Cheers,

Bruce,
Thanks for reply.............the reason for asking is I can't find any Ceramic pads for the fronts!
Anyone know if the XK front pads are unique (must be?), I know the rears are the same as the S type and Volvo. Hard to believe that nothing else uses the fronts; very unjaguar, what!
Help! still searching.............haven't looked in the UK yet......
TTFN, Adrian

Chazaroo!
Spent a lot of time last nite and this am looking at different brake catalogs and it appears that the 2007 XJ8, S type and XK's have common front and rear brake pads.
If this true then EBC Red Stuff Ceramic pads should fit our XK's , they are not listed for the XK fronts but E35DP1911C fits, XJ8's and S Types!
According to Centrix the same front part nos fit all 3.
And for the rear EBC DP31749C should fit all 3!
Next time I visit Tacoma Jag I will verify if all 3 vehicles are common............
Hope this helps and is true!!
