Hi, every one. Happy Holiday. Please forgive my mechanical knowledge. I have been searching desperately to find a brake/caliper upgrade for my 2000 XJR.

I ended up purchasing a Brembo set for 2004 S type R but I have to spend at least a one thousand dollars for the conversion to fit it in plus new rotors.

So my question is simple but I found it much harder that I thought to get the straight answer –

Is there any ready-to-fit it brake for our XJR ,all I know is the R1 package for 2001 or the early XKR package is ready to fit without any major modification.

Where and how people shop for their brake upgrade? Thank you for your share

 

If you purchase the later Brembo calipers for an XKR all you have to do is remove the uprights & have the holes tapped. I went a step further & installed the Alcon calipers from a 2009 XKR. The conversion is straight forward for you, replace the front dust shields, steel braided hoses, drill the uprights & bolt on the calipers.

 

Hi, JaxKR
Do you have the detail spec (like the size and measurement) foryour alcon brake,and mind to tell me how much did you purchase for?thank you

 

same old question, how do people find the right size caliper?

 

I've done the same Alcon conversion, believe me when I say you don't want to know how much this upgrade costs, rotors are £2000 alone. Then Bells, bobbin kits in Titanium and the calipers, (monoblocks) plus the adaptors custom made, not the easy or cheap option.

For a straight bolt-on replacement, you'll need to find a Brembo spec XJR up to 2002 in a breakers, you've been told this before by another member on here.
Alternatives require custom made adaptors fabricating out of a suitable hi tensile steel, EN21/31 with a nitrile coating, this is to be sure of safety with high mileage. Aluminium wont do.

I'd suggest selling the S type R kit, and look for the bolt on's, like these....
