Default will Austin Marin DB7 calipers fit XJR
my logic is DB7 shares DNA with XKR and XKR shares with XJR

wheel clearance is not my concern since I am already running 20 inch rims

My logic is.... Jaguar parts are expensive enough to start with.


Why would you want to purchase parts for a bespoke, hand made sports/ GT car that sold for a premium of about 50-60% above an XK8 ?

Erm, no. A DB7 shares DNA with the previous generation, the XJS, which in turn shares with the older XJ6s. XJ8 has different front and rear suspension.

Am pretty sure the X350 uses a different PCD to the X308.


do not know if the X350 ABS sensors will work with the X308 ABS.
