New Front Brake Pads for B10 V8S
I'm trying to source some new front pads for the car. Dealer wants £256+VAT, and I ain't paying that. Sent for some Jag XJR pads which are supposed to be the same, but had no slot for the pad wear sensor (also not quite deep enough but I can live with that) see picture below:

These are what I ordered:
BRAKE PAD KIT-FRONT

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

God help me when I need the discs as well because I know these are a part "unique" to the V8S

get some brake specialist to make you up some discs when needed... ap and various other companies do discs made to measure etc and as for pads cant remember exactly but you got the brembo 4 pots on the v8s so you should be open to a variety of pads ferrodo etc or even brembo direct.

True, but after all the time spent to make them "to measure", I doubt the savings will be worth the effort (if any). This option is well useful for parts not available in OEM anymore. I wouldn't bother for a couple of £ if available at a dealer... especially on such an exclusive car as a B10 VS

its much easier than before sherlock to get the discs made up as most of the big brake kit suppliers have similar disc sizes so it would only be the mounting side that would need the modifying and is done pretty quick... dont know about belgium though im speaking for uk... eg my discs are 362mm cant remember exact but they are ap slotted discs and just reworked to fit my housing bells and they cost me less than 300 gbp for the pair... so there are considerable savings to be made..
