Afternoon, looking for some advice please. 

I have a MY18 3.0V6 R dynamic 380bhp. It needs new rear discs and pads. A couple of questions, first am I correct in thinking the rear discs are 326mm as I've seen different sizes and and 2nd what do people recommend ie Brembo, EPC, stock JLR, or any others people have had a good experience with.

Brake disc size will depend on what system you have, standard for your car was 326 mm disc but there was an option for 376mm instead, should be easy to see which ones you have. I’m sure there’s loads of opinions on which discs are best but a lot will depend on what you want to get out of them and how you drive, I’ve always been happy with ebc.

A few of us have gone for the PB Brakes big brake kit. See viewtopic.php?t=6027

Thanks for the replies. I did look at the big brake option and if I was planning on track days it would be something I would spend the extra on.

Even for the road the big brake kit is worth it
The standard set up is pure penny pinching by jaguar
What other performance car do you know that has plain discs and sliding caliper brakes
