    EBC Brake Pad Set
    Jagman, New Jersey
    If you drive a Jaguar XJR, these are the brakes you wa nt! The OEM are Brembo and are over $500 from Jaguar! The EBCs are about 40% of that. Not only that, but they stop the car like you've thrown an anchor out the back!! No sqealing either. We will have to see how they wear; I'll write an update.
