MPA Electrical 1003-0688AM Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Rear Brake Pads for Jaguar XK8, XJ8, XKR, XJR

MPA Electrical Quality-Built Black Series Semi-Metallic Brake Pads with hardware-related fitment components are built for rear disc brake service on select Jaguar applications. Part number 1003-0688AM is engineered for smooth pedal response, low dust, and quiet operation across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for consistent rear braking performance
• Application-specific friction formula for predictable pedal feel
• Low-noise design with pad shims included
• Adhesive-backed pad shim and integrally molded friction attachment
• Abutment clips included for proper pad positioning
• New regular-grade disc brake pad set

Product Line Details

The Quality-Built Black Series line focuses on brake pad performance with friction compounds tuned for stable stopping power and even wear characteristics. For rear brake service on Jaguar XK8, XJ8, XKR, XJR, and Vanden Plas models, part number 1003-0688AM is specified with semi-metallic friction material and rear disc brake fitment notes that help narrow selection by rotor size where listed.

Detailed Description

This rear disc brake pad set is compatible with 1997-2006 Jaguar XK8, 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, 2000-2003 Jaguar XKR with 305mm diameter disc, 2001 and 1998-2000 Jaguar XJR, and 1995-2001 and 2002-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas rear brake applications. The semi-metallic compound is formulated to deliver steady friction response, fade resistance, and controlled dust output for everyday driving and repeated stop-and-go use. If you are replacing rear brake pads on a Jaguar XK8 or Jaguar XJ8, 1003-0688AM provides a direct-fit service option with included shims and abutment clips.

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn or uneven pad material
• Excessive brake dust buildup on rear wheels
• Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel during braking
• Reduced stopping performance from worn rear pads
• Brake fade during repeated stops or higher-temperature use

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect rear rotors, caliper hardware, and slide points before installation. Clean the caliper bracket contact areas, apply brake lubricant only where specified by the vehicle service procedure, and verify rotor diameter on XKR and Vanden Plas applications that list 305mm discs. Confirm rear fitment by year, model, and brake configuration before ordering part number 1003-0688AM.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical Quality-Built Black Series brake pads are built with application-specific friction formulas and a semi-metallic compound selected for stable braking performance, low dust, and quiet operation in rear disc brake service.
