Jaguar XKR convertible - Replacing discs and pads - Rollomcfluff

My year 2000 jag XKR came second hand with Brembo vented cross-drilled discs front and back. Jag want to charge more than £2k to replace all four discs and pads. Do I have to use the same discs? Brembo also do "Standard" discs for the XKR without the cross-drilling for a quarter of the cost, EBC cliam to have a replacement too, as do British Parts, but i don't know who can be trusted.

Any suggestions?

Unless you drive the car on track days buy the cheapest,I recently changed the pads and discs on an identical car the parts and labour were a fraction of what you have been quoted.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
