Hi,

I've just bought a 2010 XF Premium Luxury 5.0 and since its an XF it needs brakes.

Question that's have is I can't seem to get a really straight answer over here. One supplier lists pads and rotors for all V8 XFs except supercharged cars being the same, others say they are specific to the 5.0 and another says they're the same as on my 06 X350 4.2.

Silly question but I'd rather not pay dealer prices for the same parts.

New brakes in 3 years.... what pads and disks....? was the previus owner last of the late breakers. Dont screw around buying after market disks, buy OEM originals, I doubt that after market suppliers have improved on the factory standard in 3 years

The car has 36k on it, the rear pads are around 3mm, fronts not much better. Both sets of discs have a pronounced lip on them.

I'm buying OEM stuff, but not in a Jaguar box. Jaguar rotors for the front are around $200 each, in an Ate box? $80. Same part.
