F type S brake kit with pads and rotors
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I believe I need the jaguar f type s 380mm front rotors and pads, along with the 325mm rear rotors and pads. Theres so much information out there and I really don't know what to pick.
I want ceramic pads that don't have a lot of dust. I want the coated non-rusting rotors and prefer not to have drilled and slotted. But maybe either just slotted or plain pads.
What should I pick? I want good performance for the street but don't feel like spending 5 grand. Wow these are not cheap at all!
Any suggestions or kits I could get with links to them?

rockauto. Without breaking the bank, I went with the Dynamic Friction ceramic pads. They seem to perform as well as the stocks with less dust. Any of the fully coated rotors like GEOSPEC or GEOMET should be fine. And yes, you can spend a lot more. However, for the street, you really do not need to do that. If you are a weekend canyon bomber, then I would spend more. If you can find just slotted rotors, they do a good job expelling the hot gases built up during heavy and consistent braking. They really help when towing down mountain passes (non F-type driving of course). Drilling is mostly for looks on the street.

Tolson - before springing for pads and discs you need to be 100% sure of exactly which sizes you have. Yes 380 mm front and 326 mm rear (high performance) is stock/standard for the F-Type V6S but many came optioned up with the 380 mm front and 376 mm rear (super performance).
Easiest way to check is to simply measure the diameter of one of the rear discs, easier with the wheel off but can be done approximately with the wheel still on, it should not be hard to pick the 50 mm difference (approx 2") between the 376 and 326 mm discs.
