4.0 XKR brembo brakes
Discussion
NST, do you want to know how much it is to retro fit the brembo's or just change the pads and discs on exisitng brembo's?
if it is to retro, then the price you have quoted is not bad. However the most expensive part is the hubs, as you need the 20inch wheels for them and if they aren't already fitted, this will be where the cost is.

sorry should have made it clear, i would like to change pads and discs. if it is to retro, then the price you have quoted is not bad. However the most expensive part is the hubs, as you need the 20inch wheels for them and if they aren't already fitted, this will be where the cost is.

thanks for that, quite abit cheaper than jag dealer prices!The plot thickens.
The above (linked) supplier sell great-price brake parts, but not for Brembo-optioned cars.
I have been assured by Elite Jags, Derby, that i have the Brembo option, even though the callipers say Jaguar.
The VIN number says that i have std Jaguar brakes. Says the people above.
How can i tell for sure which i have?

Baffled!
It’s Friday, and it’s boooooooooze night. I hope this comes across okay.
I thought that you could have the smaller disks or the larger disks on XJR’s/XKR’s.
If you look at the attached link (scroll down), the photo of the brakes still says Jaguar on the callipers but the brakes are still referred t as ‘Brembos’ in the wording…

The reason these Jags are reasonable prices to start with, are because some things cost quite a lot to fix as the cars get older. Brembo disks being one, timing chain tensioners being another for example.
You can't payless than things cost. How about doing the work yourself?
I would stick with what you have on and bite the bullet.
