Default Jag. Service Tech: Please Help!! (brakes)

I have got a 2003 XJR w/o the Brembo option. EBC says that 2002 and 2003 front rotors are different (they don't make them for a 2003). My local auto parts store says they are the same. The local Jag, dealer can't tell me if there is a difference without VIN numbers.

Are they the same, or are they different?

Don't remember exactly wich years but there isthree different size rotors
Supercharged car with brembos
*Supercharged car non brembos
*Except supercharged car

If you don't want to run around back and forth I would take the rotor off and take it to the dealership!! IMO

I want a set of EBC's. You are right, three different sizes. Non Brembo XJR's are 325 mm. The question is are they the same from 2002 to 2003?

In europe the 2003 model was the x350 the new aluminium XJ but i\ve seen that you have 2003 model x308 in the US if it`s an x308 body there are the same on 02 and 03 EBC is a brittish company and therefore they will end the x308 range at 02

If you have an x308 the discs for a 02 model would fit your car. If you have an x350 they wont`t
