Default Upgrading Calipers - 2017 XE Premium

Hey Everyone,

I bought my XE in November and its be awesome. I was just wanting to upgrade my calipers and I know Brembo makes them for the Range Rover sport but I can't seem to find any for the XE. Has anyone found Brembos that work with the XE or have you upgraded your calipers and have a recommendation?

Thanks.

A cheap alternative is to paint your calipers red and buy the Jag caliper covers for the XE S. I did that and it improves the look of the brakes without a lot of effort and cost. I have a 35T AWD so my stopping is fine (I don’t track my car, just spirited driving). I believe the cover is part number T4N16179.

These are what I bought

Painted and installed without disconnecting the caliper. You will need a metric tap for the cover screws (don't remember the size)

See how excited Ingot Bergman looks!?!?!? (My car is a special order color Ingot, and love the movie Casablanca

Thanks for this. It's not like money is no object but I do not want to have to paint anything. I have seen mixed reviews around painting and how long it actually lasts. I am more in the market for upgraded calipers and not just painting my current ones. I will look into this option as my backup as it looks nice but I am still looking for upgrades and not just ascetics.

I have a 2017 XE R-Sport and I'm interested in caliper / brake upgrades options as well. I'm more interested in bolt on upgrades, but I wouldn't rule out minor modifications.

Regards,

also I am selling my calipers on eBay from my 2018 xe-s. Red. Excellent. For a forum member I would throw in rotors and dust shields if you need the larger rotors.
