It's a joke Joyce!
No way in a million years would I fit that junk to my car.
Anyway it's unlikely the front pair would fit over the 380 mm brake calipers, especially not width-wise.

"Made of ABS plastics withstand heat."

I'd get a set if the lettering was "bermbo" or "brombo." That'd be perfect. As it is, they've pixelated the logo, probably to protect their own intellectual property (more joke in thread is jokier, hah!).

Over my many years of ownership, I've never had someone come up to me an say "Beautiful car, but oh those brake calipers"...

Funny you say it, I had people say that to me on the track, but only at the start of the day.

Several of my sports car buddies have commented on the lack of a proper caliper on the Jag. Hey my mustang has Brembos and your Jag doesn't LOL

And do they stop any better than your Jag? I find the brakes to be perfectly acceptable.

absolutely! I just think they could have put a proper 6 piston caliper on there.

Seems like your are more focused on aesthetics rather than function. If the brakes stop the car and don't over heat, the number of pistons in the caliper are not relevant. As with any car, you only need the the caliper to be large enough to stop the car and not overheat. If lower pistons are able to provide amble 'even' force on the brake pad to get the needed braking torque, there is no need for more pistons (as it's just more failure/rebuild areas to deal with). Less is more. Either way, it is your car and you are obviously allowed to change it to how you see it fits your needs.

I was annoyed at the sliding yoke calipers, mostly because JLR has 4-piston Brembos in the parts bin already. After changing my rotors and pads I didn't feel quite so badly. They're not nearly as heavy as I feared they'd be. I still wish they'd put the Brembos on though because I'm an elitist with a brake fetish. They might also give a little better feel when braking at over 80% due to stiffness, but that's just speculation on my part.

Yep, those mahoosive front brake calipers are not as heavy as they look coz they are alu alloy while all the rest of the calipers and caliper brackets are steel. That's for the 380 mm fronts and 376 and 325 mm rears, not sure about the 355 mm front calipers which I suspect are steel.

Yes, I used magic to confirm that they were al-yoo-mini-um before I did the job. Magnets are magic, right?

Great minds think alike, and you even got the spelling and pronunciation of aluminium right!
