Fits Jaguar XJ-L (X351) (2010-2019)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Jaguar XJ-L (X351) (2010-2019) — 380 mm
380 mm

Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive X351 architecture was a genuine engineering achievement when it launched in 2010. The long-wheelbase XJ-L’s bodyshell leans heavily on alloy to keep mass competitive against steel-bodied German rivals. Even so, you are still arresting the better part of two tonnes from speed, and the factory front brake specification on most XJ-L variants reflects grand-touring priorities rather than performance ones.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that gap directly. Three pad compounds let you calibrate the system to how the XJ-L spends its time, and a full palette of caliper finishes gives the setup a visual identity to match.

What this brake kit does for your 2010-2019 Jaguar XJ-L (X351)

In a rear-wheel-drive platform as long and heavy as the X351, the front axle carries a disproportionate share of braking work. Under hard stops, the kind the supercharged V8 XJR makes accessible on a fast A-road, conventional assemblies heat up and lose bite progressively. The two-piece floating disc draws heat away from the friction surface more efficiently, giving the rotor meaningful additional thermal headroom before fade sets in. The floating bell keeps the disc flat as it heats, and braided lines firm the pedal across the travel.

Three compounds match the system to use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default with progressive, predictable initial bite. Sport sharpens pedal response and widens the heat range for harder driving. Racing is the dedicated circuit compound, rewarding drivers who modulate pressure through the travel rather than stabbing at it.

About the front big brake kit

The kit pairs a hollow-body forged caliper as standard with a two-piece floating disc whose hollow-vane geometry opens airflow paths through the disc body rather than relying purely on swept area, drawing heat away from the braking surface more directly than a conventional rotor. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades come as two-tone anodizing in five colours, or titanium, selectable at checkout.

Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, with a premium candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. For sustained use when the 5.0-litre V8’s performance envelope invites heavier, more repeated braking, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.

Fitment for the Jaguar XJ-L (X351) (2010-2019)

This kit is confirmed for the Jaguar XJ-L on the X351 long-wheelbase platform across the full 2010-2019 production run, covering V6 diesel and V8 petrol variants through to the supercharged XJR. Buyers running the XJR should verify existing rotor diameter against the kit specification before ordering, as the factory-fit Brembo equipment on that model uses a larger disc than base-spec XJ-L derivatives.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
