Yep, the high performance and super performance brake calipers are red as standard and black is optional..........as shown in the Jaguar 'Performance Braking Systems' photograph I posted above ;)

This has obviously changed repeatedly! MY20 high performance are black standard, red optional whilst the super performance are red standard, black optional. Seems a marketing ploy to get more cash in as the colour change was £320!

I went with the high performance (standard on P380) as the super performance brakes seem to use exactly the same front brakes and the ‘upgrade’ is just to the rear brakes, from 325mm to 376mm discs. Is there a difference to the front brake setup?

The photo I posted (showing the Jaguar ‘Performance Braking Systems’) was taken from the F-Type 2013 – 2015 brochure.

The high performance and super performance 380mm front brakes use exactly the same set up. The upgrade only applies to the rear brakes at 376mm (Super Performance).

Taken from the F-Type brochure.........

”The front calipers make extensive use of aluminium to reduce the ‘unsprung mass’ of the car, benefitting both handling and ride refinement. Each system features large, ventilated brake discs – up to 380mm in diameter on the High Performance and Super Performance systems. This large ‘swept area’ improves braking force as well as providing greater capacity for the discs to absorb and dissipate the heat energy generated during braking.”

Hi dbv6s
I fitted the Wortec discs to the front of my car (see my posts) which made a significant difference to the braking with EBC yellow stuff pads.
I have since fitted the yellow stuff pads to my other cars as these work well from cold to pushing it, they do produce some dust but they are worth every penny, just my humble opinion ... :o
