Front Brembo Video...
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Well after finally getting around to editing it I have the first of the brake videos. These are for part 1 and part 2 for doing the fronts. I still have to shoot the resetting of the EPB for the rear video then I will try and get that up sometime in the next week. But for now I have the front brake video up.
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF0IF_nrVio
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ0GMVDOtkI
Hope this helps some people out that are needing front pads or rotors. Also I dont believe I covered it in the video but before installing your new rotor you are gonna want to spray it down with some brake parts cleaner to get any sort of coating off that was applied for storage and shipping purposes so make sure you do this before installing the rotor.

The rear is pretty much the same except for the E brake you have to tackle the E brake caliper a little different but not any harder then the front just more steps. Also you have to recalibrate the E brake which is what I still need to film since I was trying to figure it out I didnt have my camera rolling so gonna try and replicate it this weekend and film it. Then I can finish the editing and upload it. I try to keep them in HD so the quality isnt grainy and people can actually see what is going on which is why it takes so long to upload. 720p is a little faster so I upload it at that instead of 1080p which is what I shoot them in.

Vance....lovin the vids you take the time and trouble to make for this site.....thanks so much, they absolutely rock!!!

If I could make a couple of points that may be useful?
When you are pushing the pistons back in, isn't it a good idea to generally loosen / remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir? I could be wrong!
Also copper grease on the back of the pads to help eliminate brake pad squeal.
Once again, Kudos to you my friend for these and other video postings

This difference with the 06+ STR is that you will have to push in the caliper and mount the pads before remounting the caliper. The Brembos are setup that the caliper doesnt have to be removed to get the pads out where the standard setup with the 06+ you will have to remove the calipers when switching out the pads. You also probably wont be able to use just a socket wrench to push in the caliper you will probably want to get a good C-clamp to help you out.

AFAIK, there's no need to loosen or remove the cap- it's vented. Removing will just provide an opportunity for dirt to enter .

Dang sorry to hear about that. Are they out of every rotor for the STR cause they have stocks, cross drilled, cross drilled and slotted. This place has some also. Never ordered from them so not sure how they are or if they are gonna be the right size.

BTW, what is the size in mm for our front and rear STRs?

Still searching for new rotors. I came across these just now, WTF? Frozen rotors?

Jaguar S-Type R Frozen Brake Rotors Brembo 03-05. Frozen Rotors? by Diversified Cryogenics, Inc for your Jaguar S-Type R with the Brembo brake option. The name says it all. Frozen Rotors freezes brake rotors...rock solid. Rotors are frozen at 300 degrees below zero using a deep cryogenic process that permanently changes the atomic structure of the rotor. This proprietary, 60-hour cryogenic process permanently and dramatically improves the usage life and stability of brake rotors to create a distinct advantage in tensile strength, abrasive wear-resistance and rotor longevity. As a result, frozen rotors deliver increased performance and a higher level of safety while significantly reducing braking system costs.

Yeah I saw those, but I'm 95% sure those actually don't fit an R model. According to the notes they are less than 13" and the R brakes are 14".

It didn't work for me, but looking through there, there wasn't any brake rotor larger than 12.6" listed. I'm fairly certain that EBC does not make a rotor to fit the Brembo set up.
