Given the disks look a bit naff and the car is 11 years old I’m looking re refresh all parts back to the ferrules, or further if I find corrosion.
Not looking to sand, paint coat or otherwise bits of exposed or corroded ferrules.
Questions:
Plain or dimpled/slotted, etc.? I prefer the look with slots or dimples (not drilled) but in the past I’ve had terrible droning when braking on a Z4 so am erring towards plain. Anyone with them fitted and running silently?
Rotor manufacturer suggestion? Looking at Brembo or Meyle. Any suggestions as market is awash with cheap rotors or high end varying form £30 each to £200.. Larger 380mm fronts so limited Availability on some makes. Prefer coated to prevent some corrosion.
Pads - not decided but normal road use with low dust. Used EBC in past but out of stock. Any recommendations, but not looking for fast road, track, pseudo ceramics, etc.
Replace the original OEM brake hoses (not cheap
), or get a set of braided from Goodyear? Used latter on extreme articulation Jeeps and very good, but not used on road cars. Not looking to improve performance, but must be like for like and location point proper connections, clips, etc.Anyone any experience or source for the ferrules and oem brake pipes aside JLR. I’m perfectly OK making my own pipes and connections and have the kit, just need spec. Fitting type to make up pipe sections but to some extent feel the Jag deserves neat fitted pipes, not approximate bends..
Finally a decent online parts catalogue link/ reference as the ones I’ve used before now only have classic jags listed.
Much appreciate thoughts and not urgent project as I’ll do it section at a time over the coming cold weeks..
