After reading hundreds of posts on the pros and cons of various brake pad options, I have decided to stick with OEM Jaguar brake pads for my F Type R. I don't like the dust, but it seems like the best compromise for spirited street use and occasional track days. A couple of questions:

• Is there a good place to purchase OEM brake pads at a reasonable price? Harper Jaguar appears to offer a good discount on their website. Any other suggestions?
• Can anyone confirm that the correct pads for a 2016 F Type R with 380mm/376mm are p/n T2R22312 (front) and p/n T2R12793 (rear)?

Thanks in advance.

 

If you're interested, I have a set of OEM brake pads I took off my 2016 R with less than a 1000 miles on them. I couldn't stand the dust, plus I don't track my car. I switched over to Red EBC for the front and Porterfield to the rear ( because EBC didn't make the rear set ). They both claimed low brake dust, but they were still way to dirty for me. I eneded up finding Dynamic Frictions pads that have been absolutely dust free. Both sets have less than a 1000 miles on them. $50.00 plus shipping for each set.

 

Thanks for the advise Rondog. I was just about to purchase the EBC red pads. I also hate the amount of dust on the front wheels and I don't track my car.
Is the braking effort similar to stock pads?

 

I couldn't tell much difference between the OEM and the EBC Red Pads. If you're interested, I'll sell you my front ones with less than a 1000 miles on them, But beware, you still get black brake dust. ( Just not quite as much ) Now of you're wanting very very little next to no brake dust, let me know and I'll tell you what I ended up with.

 

My full set of Porterfields are visually dust free!

 

Hey Rondog, you opened a door so I'm gonna walk through it! I'm wanting very, very little brake dust; so what did you end up with? Asking for a friend........

 

The Brake pads I purchased which are fantastic, are Dynamic Friction 5000 Euro Ceramic Brake Pads. I purchased mine from BuyBrakes .com, both front and rear sets were less than $140.00 with free shipping.

 

Rock Auto has (had?) Dynamic Friction as well, even for Carbon Ceramic rotors.

 

I had RedStuff on my XF. Then Porterfield R4-S. Highly recommend the Porterfield. Very low dust, good progressive braking without the grabby feel of OEM.

 

Another very happy user of those Porterfield R4-S! Have had them for several years and not much if any dust and I like the pedal feel much better than the factory pads.

I may get a set of Porterfield R4-S for just street use eventually, but everything I have read says they are not adequate for track use. Right now I am looking for a good compromise for street and occasional track use.

 

Oxymoron?

Your original plan (to buy OEM) is good, in that case. Just ceramic-coat the wheels so that you can dust the brake residue away.
