I wouldn't order directly, but from a US-based distributor.
Thank you, gentlemen.

I haven't had any experience with Europarts but I did order some parts once and they were packaged "Uro"
URO Parts - European Auto Parts Manufactured by APA Industries
It was only one order (radiator mounts) so I can say anything much....but the mounts looked good and fit perfectly..... and were about 1/8 the price of Jaguar labeled parts.

I'm using their rotors (fr and rear) and my R1 brembo brakes and have no compalint about the quality.
If Britishparts is cheaper EVEN with the freight and exchange rate, you must not be shopping at the right places in the USA.
Give me a couple of examples of part # so I can tell you what the prices will be in the USA

Have no idea who eurospare is, nor to what standards they work it looks pretty vague to me, which is why I personaly wouldn't buy from them, especially when it comes to safety products like brakes/rotors.
These can also be bought from www.stoptech.com (for instance). They are lower priced than the jaguar Brembo versions, and more important it seems like a company that understands performance brakes which has given me more confidence to buy from them.

It would be interesting for those who have purchased aftermarket brake parts to list the country of manufacture.
Because of past problems - I try to buy OE brake parts as much as is practical -- in some instances it was easier years ago to determine the origins of aftermarket parts.
We had too many problems with the aftermarket stuff - it was hit or miss.

I agree that that you have to be careful with aftermarket parts...especially with so many outfits playin' it fast and loose with the term "OEM" and third-world manufacturers getting into the game.
As to brakes rotors specifically, though, I can't ever remember getting a bad one, to be honest. Bendix, Lucas, Wagner, Brembo, Beck/Arnley, Lockheed, NAPA store brand, AC Delco, Motorcraft, and on and on.
Many on-line vendors are selling Centric brand rotors which are usually the least expensive offering....and the "least expensive" offering always make me worry a bit. A freind of mine bought four for his Jag and I installed them a year ago. He hasn't reported any problems....so I guess they're OK <shrug>? I'll add, though, that this fellow is an average driver..no street racing, canyon carving or other agressive driving involved.
Centric, it appears, is the parent company for the StopTech brand mentioned above.

JLM21748. Pair of Rear Eurospare "R" rotors. $260. Free shipping
JLM21749. Same for the front. $210. free shipping
MXD1550AB. Front after-market pads: $50 + $7 shipping
MXD1550AA. Rear after-market pads: $50 + $7 shipping
JLM21319. $2.83. $5 shipping
CAC9397. $5.44. $5 shipping
Total: $602.27 compared to $1,019.20 for a saving of $412 or %40 +
A few notes:
1/ I used an exchange rate of 1.6
2/ BP prices include VAT, the only UK company that show both, VAT and without VAT is David Manners
3/Since they are so many after-market brake pads, without knowing the brand and part #, i took the cheapest ones.
4/What I really don't like about BP is that they don't clearly tell you that some parts are not Jaguar but rather after-market

Yes stoptech is a good company but most of the racers that i know ( I race a Roush Trans Am in SCCA GT1) use Coleman Racing.
On my race car with an Alcon system the rotors from Coleman are 30% of the Alcon price with 99% of the quality.
Eurospare has a very good reputation.

Rotors/discs is not a very high tech product.

Anyhow I just wanted to let people know there is another company that sells rotors at a lower price than Jaguar does, by a company that provides some background and has knowledge of performance brakes and stand hbehind them.
I could also have mentioned Coleman, and I have actually been trying to have them make custom discs for me some time ago, and not with the idea to save cost, but to get a high quality rotor at hopefully not much more costs then the Jaguar ones.
