Brakes..?

Centric black rotors. They're the only thing I use on my vehicles as well as customers at the shop. Dont bother with dimpled/slotted... more gimmick/bling than actual gain imo.

While they may be a gimmick, I never had any issues with the cross drilled slotted rotors I put on my supercharged Bronco and with drums in the back and the power and weight characteristics I imagine they were put to the test a number of times. I likely had 130,000 miles on them when I sold with no issues.

Don't remember the brand or model or if something compatible is available for the xk.

I agree they won't hurt anything (unless you get cheapie drilled ones that crack). My response was directly related to the question of "do i need drilled/slotted?", in which the answer is absolutely not. I've got nothing against some of the badass brakes out there (EBC/Stillen/etc)... if someone wants to run the best brakes money can buy, do it. It's part of the fun of "modding" our rigs. But for someone looking for quality brakes that wont break the bank (nice pun?), the cost/performance ratio of drilled/slotted isn't worth it.
