Im looking to buy some new rotors and pads soon. This price seems reasonable but the question is do they fit ?

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

 

I would check into these carefully. When I researched brakes for my '05 XKR I found that many suppliers thought the R and 8 brakes were the same. I can tell you that the pads in the picture will not fit a Brembo brake. Good luck.

 

We need the year and the brake specifications of your car to properly help you.

There are many variations in even the same year with various brake options that were offered.

Best thing is to measure the the front rotor diameters if you don't have that info.

It is strange that they don't give the rotor measurements in the ad and if I were you I would be writing them to get that info before I parted with any money.

Look for GGG's posts on brakes on this forum....he recently covered most of them for this model.

Be sure to check out brakes under this link:


JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource

Look for the link to all TSB's

There is a TSB listed for the 2003 Model Upgrades/changes that also covers brake changes and options.

And follow the link for a TSB re brake vibrations after installation to avoid getting them in the first place.

There was a cross drilled option for XKR's with Brembos if you are going to replace yours you might as well go the whole hog and get those.

There was a later upgrade, in 2006, I think to yet another brand of brakes.

Good luck,

jagxkrtoofast, I assume that yours is an 03 or above model year - this might work for you if you're looking for all 4 rotors and pads:

You can combine items from rockauto.com and autopartswarehouse.com.

Rockauto has crazy good prices on pads and front rotors (if I recall less than $160 for a pair of cross-drilled).

More Information for CENTRIC 12820020

Autopartswarehouse has a pair of Eurospare rear rotors, non-cross drilled for less than $90, which is quite a good deal IMO.

Pads are relatively easy to come by from many quality manufacturers. I recently did the fronts on my 03 XKR with Hawk HPS. For the rotors I took a chance on the Centrix brand. They are the parent company of StopTech that I had previously used on other cars with good results and at $95, it sure beats the Brembo price.

That was about 5k miles ago and so far it was a good choice. Rotors are smooth and well balanced and the pads grip very well. At the end of it I have about $350 in brakes that a good local shop quoted at $1000 and the dealer at almost $2000.

Pads can be found at many places, I went with TireRack. Rotors I got from PartsGeek, P/N 120.20020 for the non-cross drilled (silver caliper) version.
