You could buy a STR. That would give you the actual Brembos plus it will throw in the supercharger. Not sure what you are really asking. Do you have a normal S type but what a Brembo style Big Brake Kit or what?

Well I dont know about the Stoptech kit that jaguar 20 posted about but if you want to try and adapt the R brakes to a regular S type you are gonna have to do alot of work. Not sure if it would even work but for starters you would have to get bigger wheels as the Brembos need 18's to clear. Then you would have to get the spindles from an R probably front and definitly rear cause you would need the 2 mounting points to get the E brake caliper. Then you would have to source the rotors pads and calipers (including the Emergency). Then you would probably have to get the motor and other E brake components cause I'm not really sure what is the same and what is different between the 2. Once you have all of that if that is even all you would need there is the matter if the master cylinder is the same or different cause you may need one from an R also since the Brembos will require more fluid. I'm just guessing on if this is everything but just to get your mind going if this would be the route you would wanna take. You might be better off keeping the regular S save some cash and then just get the R. Might actually be cheaper then going through the hassle that it will probably end up being. Plus you will get the supercharger and we all love more power that way you can take advantage of the Brembos. If you decide to take on the project I can help you out as best as I can through here with any pics or vids you would want of the Brembo system.

There's a saying "I wouldn't start from here", and in this case I wouldn't. It'll be mega work and cost more than you'd imagine, plus bleeding out the calipers can be very tough. Just sell the car and buy an STR.
You'd need to replace the brake cabling for the EPB, too.
