I've just joined the family - my 2017 base F-Type coupe is being delivered this weekend!

With that, I'm looking to upgrade the brakes to 380mm front and 376mm rear, which will of course require 19" wheels (I'm a fan of the OEM Centrifuge design). Do you suggest any particular retailer/performance shop to source your parts? I'm located in the USA - DC metro area, in case that matters.

Many thanks for your time!

 

Just on two years ago now I upgraded the rear brakes on my F-Type from 326 mm to 376 mm, see this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...de+rear+brakes
All the info you could ever want about that upgrade - parts, sources, process, tips & tricks etc - is in that thread.
The 380 mm front brakes will bolt straight up to your base no problems and much the same will apply as I found with the rear brakes.
Your main issue will be cost - the rear brake parts will be bad enough but the front parts will cost at least twice as much again.
I shopped around for the best prices I could get for the rear caliper brackets and splash shields and the best I found was Britcar in the UK: Land Rover Parts and Jaguar Spares | Britcar UK Ltd
Great prices but of course with the shipping cost you could probably do better buying from a US seller.
You could get lucky and find used calipers and caliper brackets on Fleabay, definitely worth checking, I got new rear calipers with EPB motors for 1/3 new price.
With the rotors also check out XFR, XKR and XJR listings/prices, the 380 fronts and 376 rears are identical to those on the F-Type. Heaps of listings on Fleabay for new XFR rotor & pad sets. Don't even consider used rotors, get new!
Same with the 380 mm front calipers and caliper brackets, all exactly the same across the Jag range, but the 376 mm rear calipers and brackets are unique to the F-Type. Used ones should be OK.

Edit - forgot to add - as well as the rear calipers and caliper brackets being unique to the F-Type so are the rear brake pads, so don't fall into the trap of buying a complete XFR/XKR/XJR rotor and pad set. Just get the rotors and as Jaggyx says get Porterfield R4S pads.

 

Congrats. I'd go with the below.

Calipers: eBay, try to find a used set
Rotors: R1 Concepts Geomet
Pads: Porterfield R4S
Wheels: Many options to choose from --- what exactly are you looking for (forged, cast) and what's your budget?

 

Yep, here's a pair of used XFR front calipers & brackets going cheap, they look good and it's a US seller!

@OzXFR Thanks for all the info! I'll be frequenting that thread in short order.

@Jaggyx Those rotors from R1 look fantastic! What drew you to the Porterfield pads? re: wheels I'm aiming < 2.5k USD a set for now, no heavier than stock, preferably 19" because highways near me are garbage.

 

They're great. I have the Geomets and no complaints this far. Regarding the Porterfield pads, good feel, low dust.

At that wheel price paint, take a look at Avante Garde, Rohana, Forgestar. If you're willing to wait the current build time of twelve weeks, you can grab a set of VS Forged wheels for $2,450 for so. Plenty of info here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...wheels-209275/
