Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2011 Jaguar XJ perform complementary roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking force while rear rotors balance and stabilize stops. Because braking bias favors the front axle, front rotors typically experience higher temperatures and faster wear; this is especially true for a high-performance, supercharged V8 like the XJ’s. At Stevinson Jaguar Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our technicians assess both axles and recommend precision repairs—resurfacing when safe or OEM replacement when needed. Choosing factory parts and certified installation preserves braking balance, reduces vibration, and prevents accelerated wear of pads, calipers, and suspension components. We encourage owners to check both axles during routine service and to take advantage of current service specials. When you want confidence in stopping power, schedule service with our factory-trained team; we also offer service financing so repairs can start today and payments can be handled later.
