What are the original pads from the factory fitted in the F-Type?

[cj10jeeper]

Take a look at ebcbrakes.com using their pad selector tool, rather than just plucking manufacturers and pad types out without looking at the pros and cons.
EBC tools allow you to see the tradeoffs between different types of pads in a wide colour coded range.
Once you have this sort of info you can decide what matters and as per previous posts the compromise
Although I’ve used them on many applications for years my use will be different to yours (low dust, good performance, some fast driving, etc. using green and red pads) so I’m not recommending them specifically., rather the selection process.

For what it’s worth I consider ceramic pads more a marketing tool than a guide to what suits a car and driving style and the Jurid you reference have no wear indicator.

Good Day All. I'm picking up on this thread.
For normal driving (not racing or braking hard) whats the life (km's) on can reasonably expect from pads. My car has 31000kms and I've been told it's around 50% worn.
And when the time comes for replacement are pads such as ATE, Ferodo, Brembo or other after market recommended ? the OE pad from JLR here in South Africa seems skyhigh in relation to the same in the UK which I found is GBP47 and GBP80 (Rear and Front).
In Rands, we're being charged about 9x the equivalent exchange rate !! I'm sure these cars came with TRW oringally and I see TRW's on the rears.

Another question is whether a TRW aftermarket is the same as a JLR part (assuming it's also TRW).
What about fitment. Can any competent brake centre do it or is there something special to these performance cars that I should be aware of.

Thanks.

Thank you, tell me then such a question, the front original pads stood originally, and original discs, at high speeds the car braked very well and the brakes braked perfectly after a few sharp brakes, but when I drove in the city, they are even at the slightest pressure very sharp were, was not comfortable (probably because very hard on the composition of the pads). I decided to change to Brembo pads, the brakes in the city became soft and comfortable, on the highway if you brake the first times (while the discs are not heated especially), all normal brakes, but then after 3-6 attempts to brake in a short interval, they begin to brake very badly and begins to hit the steering wheel very hard (strong vibration). When the discs are left, the vibration disappears until they warm up again. I understand that this is because Brembo discs are very soft and when heated up they stop braking and give vibrations. And if you go to the original hard, in the city will not be comfortable. Is there any replacement pads, so that and more less comfortable and that on the track when heated did not vibrate and normal brakes? Advise what brands can be put on the front? What do you think about ceramic pads, like ATE is?

(front and rear discs are original, rear pads are original TRW)

I'm experiencing exactly the same behaviour with Brembo rotors and pads, vibrating when heated up... scary how they even brand Brembo as "performance" brakes! I'm honestly disappointed with them and I didn't even feel such a comfort improvement over original rotors and pads.

Have anyone managed to solve this issue? Is it just a matter of replacing rotors? Any other brand recommended that can be easily purchased in mainland EU? Shopping for 380" rotors it appears only choices are Brembo, ATE and Mayle...

I requested an aftermarket quote and was quoted the original Jaguar (presumably TRW) with the comment that these are the only pads for this car.

Have a look at pagid. They're an OE supplier for a lot of the German marques, and are highly rated. People on this forum use them, and I've used them on numerous motors over the years including my vans for work without any issues or warping

The only Brembo pads worth fitting are those which go in their 4-pot (or bigger) calipers. Their standard road pads are just that, standard with a Brembo sticker on the box for marketing

Can you please share Pagid ref number or web page?
I can't seem to find the appropriate part number. On their website I can only spec the RSL-19 which is meant for track endurance use, only for front brakes (no rear options).
Thanks

I would suggest using best pads you can affford pads in the F-Type.

Those favoured by our brothers across the pond, plus a few folk on here including myself are R4-S's form Porterfield. They are quiet, very low dust, and grip teh OEM rotors like sh!t to a blanket!
