TAMING THE CAT: TAROX SUPER SPORT BRAKE KIT FOR THE JAGUAR F-TYPE

There’s no denying the Jaguar F-Type has presence. Whether in “S” or full-fat “R” guise, its mix of classic proportions, thunderous exhaust notes, and rear-driven (or AWD) aggression has carved a space for it among the modern GT elite. But behind that snarling face and muscular stance, there’s been one persistent shortcoming—brakes that, frankly, don’t live up to the car’s potential.

Enter the TAROX Super Sport Brake Caliper Kit, a game-changing upgrade developed in partnership with TAROX Italy and engineered specifically for the F-Type. This isn’t just a simple pad-and-disc swap. This is a complete reimagining of the braking system, developed with one clear goal: to unlock the F-Type’s full stopping potential, both on the road and at the track.

From Italy, with Bite

TAROX isn’t new to the performance scene. With roots deep in motorsport and a reputation for supplying braking systems for everything from tuned hot hatches to full-blown GT cars, their pedigree is unimpeachable. But what makes this kit special is the level of OEM integration.

As technical partner for Tarox’s JLR projects, we have taken a no-compromise approach to development. Using 3D scanning technology, fitment modelling and mock up, and rigorous track testing, they’ve ensured this kit bolts up with factory precision and works seamlessly with Jaguar’s sophisticated driving aids—including ABS, ECS, and dynamic handling systems.

And if you’re wondering about the F-Type’s electric handbrake motor? It’s been accounted for by making the rear B34 calipers engineered to accept the OEM motor, eliminating the need for a separate handbrake solution giving full functionality without aftermarket fiddling or adding additional calipers just like the ones used on the Jaguar Carbon Ceramic Option.

The Hardware

At the heart of the kit are hand-assembled billet alloy calipers: B360 8-piston units up front, and B34 4-piston units at the rear. These aren’t just built to stop—they’re designed to perform under repeated stress, lap after lap. Combined with floating two-piece F2000 discs (385mm x 32mm front and 382mm x 24mm rear), the system is built to withstand high temperatures without warping or fading, maintaining consistent performance where the factory setup begins to sweat.

The floating rotors themselves are works of engineering art: precision-machined, heat-treated, and designed to dissipate heat rapidly under hard use. Whether you’re threading through a scenic B road or hammering around Silverstone, you’ll find yourself braking later and more confidently than ever before no thanks as well to Tarox’s famous Corsa fast road/ track pads giving amazing bite with no warm up period or excessive brake dust.

Performance You Can Feel

Braking is about more than sheer power — it’s about control, confidence, balance and feedback. With the TAROX kit installed, the change is immediate. The pedal feel is transformed: firmer, more communicative, and finely modulable. The car feels lighter on its feet, thanks to the reduction in unsprung weight. That translates to sharper handling, better turn-in, and more agility through transitions.

What’s more impressive is how seamlessly this performance integrates with the rest of the F-Type’s driving character. There’s no harshness, no compromise in drivability — just a sense that the car is finally operating at the level its chassis and engine were always capable of.

Of course, in the world of high-performance builds, form matters just as much as function. The TAROX calipers are available in a range of colours to match your build—whether that’s a subtle OEM look or something bolder. Better yet, the kit is optimised to fit behind factory 20″wheels, so you don’t have to compromise your aesthetic or invest in new alloys just to run it.

Final Word: A Necessary Evolution

For all the F-Type gets right — and it gets a lot right — the braking system has always been a bottleneck for enthusiastic drivers. The TAROX Super Sport Kit doesn’t just fix that issue; it elevates the F-Type into a different category of performance vehicle.

Whether you’re a track-day regular or a spirited road driver looking for precision, this is the kind of upgrade that changes how you drive — and how much you enjoy it without reaching your braking limitations in any conditions.
