I had luck with EBC

I used EBCUSR Sport Black Rotors and EBC Redstuff Pads as replacements on my '99 XK8 and have been very happy with them.

Thanks.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm going to do the stainless brake line upgrade. I'll post here afterwards and let you all know how that went.

That's not the source of the basic problem. If the car doesn't perform to as-new spec, aftermarket 'upgrades' are not the solution.

I use Hawk brake pads on my Brembos, they fit perfectly! If the pads that you buy don't fit correctly, then why would you even concider trusting your life to them. Any manufacturer that makes brakes for Brembo's should know better, if they cannot correctly spec the dimentions, they certanlly can't make a reliable pad either.
