According to RockAuto all of these cars use the same calipers. So find a set of used calipers from one and you should be good. I got a set from a 2011 XJ (non supercharged).
The front logo plates come with brake hardware kits. They are blank and unpainted.
The rear will be more difficult. I found a guy on ebay that was making them but it doesn't appear as he is anymore. Your best bet would be to find a used set of calipers that has the rear plates.
I got my rear logo plates from a guy on ebay that was making them. It was a lot cheaper than getting them from Jaguar but the seller doesn't show any more available.
Multiple layers of tape works pretty well. I had a couple areas that need touched up afterwards but it works.
I doubt it. I bled them several times to see if that was the issue. The problem is the first 1" or so of brake pedal travel doesn't do a whole lot. Compared to other vehicles you got to push the pedal a lot farther to get the initial bite.
Finally after 7 years I get around to doing this. I wanted to do this mod since dwiggy first posted about it but I didn't have the funds or time. When I did have the funds I went and bought an Evo X and the LS was relegated as a backup car. Now many years later the LS was about due for a brake...
I just redid my rear suspension and didn't notice anything like that. The casting was a bit rough in a few areas though. I should take a closer look when I get home.
I'm currently refinishing some 2010 Jaguar XJ calipers (same calipers as 06+ S Type R) that I got of ebay for $125. This is the easiest and cheapest way to get big brakes for the LS. I looked into what would be required to do the Brembo swap and its way too much. The complete fronts suspension...
I read somewhere on here that it wasn't possible to fit a Trac Lok into a second gen housing. The Trac Lok will fit in the first gen housing and the first gen housing will bolt on a second gen LS. But you need first gen axles too. That's what I have on my second gen LS.
I have the Orion V2. I haven't had any experience with any other brands so I'm not sure. Just remember that 00-02 and 03-06 have different headlights so make sure you order the correct ones.
Yeah, the transmission has been the most troubling thing. I replaced it at 130k with a transmission that came with a Ford warranty. Then at 160k I was having more issues and Ford replaced it under warranty. And at 190k Ford did some repair work on it under warranty.
They are factory lights...
