Detailed Description

Dynamite Friction 8612-20001 is a front disc brake kit engineered for Jaguar vehicles that require the specified rotor and pad combination. The DFC rotor and 5000 Euro ceramic pad package is a practical choice for maintaining consistent pedal response and controlled braking on older Jaguar platforms, including front brake service for Jaguar XJ6, XJ12, XJS, XJRS, and XJR models. This kit is listed for 1973-1997 Jaguar applications, with fitment tied to chassis number and production-date notes where required.

This part cross-references common brake service applications where a front rotor-and-pad kit is specified for the same Jaguar platform.

• Front brake wear on Jaguar XJ6 and XJ12 models
• Rotor scoring, heat checking, or uneven braking feel
