What are anti-squeel shims? Are those the brake pad shims?

Yes those are the ones. I had to replace them for some springier ones on and old Triumph I had once at it cured the squeek.
You never know, it could be something as simple as that.

I had a brake upgrade carried out on the front last year by Hi-Spec in Dartford using their own manufactured billet 4 pots & discs. V.impressed.

Now the rears are badly worn & I wondered if anyones come up with a decent upgrade in terms of venting ?

I know Hi Spec were looking at upgrading the XJS rears
but havn't checked recently.

Very interesting reading thanks Mike (and Mike!).

I'm definitely going ahead with my upgrade, but it's a toss-up between the Bremsport kit and the Wilwood's - any advice?

Stig,
When you have done your upgrade I sure one of us with a 280/350 would be interested in your 400 calipers/vented disks. Let us know if you are selling.

Nice one Andy! I swapped the shims and pads across on the front and it has cured the problem.

That's one job off the list! On to the next.

Thanks again,
Dave
