Default Rotors and pads

Before next spring I'm going to put rotors and pads on my 04 XKR Portfolio. At the moment the online parts guys I have talked to have left me a little uneasy as to their true knowledge. I know that I want regular -non vented non drilled.

1 Do all 04 XKRs have the same rotor size? Or do I need to get the actual size off the rotor?

2 Do you get what you pay for? Prices are all over the place. I want value not junk.

3 Give me a couple of stores that you guys are happy with.

Hope this isn't too redundant. I do appreciate everyones help on this forum.

Thanks,
Randy

I just ordered a set of rotors and ceramic pads for my 01 XKR from R1 Concepts. They had a 25% off sale on the Monday after "Black Friday". I'll have them installed this Spring. I bought rotors from them for my XJ8 about a year ago and am very satisfied with them.

Do you have the Brembo Brake option? I think at some point the Brembo's became standard on the XKR. This is where the confusion is.

Thanks for the info Lew. Do you have a favorite in your garage? I would have a hard time deciding which one of those cars to drive.

That's like asking which of your three children is your favorite! I love them all, but they are all different.
