BRAKE WITH CONFIDENCE. DRIVE WITH ASSURANCE.
The Jaguar E-Type was one of the most capable sports cars of its era.
More than sixty years later, the demands placed upon an E-Type have changed dramatically. Higher traffic volumes, faster average speeds and more demanding driving conditions place significantly greater expectations on braking performance than Jaguar's original engineers could ever have anticipated.
Our Braking Confidence programme combines carefully integrated braking improvements, tailored to your E-Type and the way you intend to drive it. The result is stronger, more progressive and confidence-inspiring braking performance, whilst preserving the balance and character that make the E-Type so rewarding to drive.
BUILT AROUND HOW YOU DRIVE
There is no single braking solution for every E-Type.
An owner who enjoys relaxed weekend drives has very different requirements to someone planning European touring or building a more capable fast-road car.
That's why we don't recommend braking upgrades in isolation.
Instead, every programme is developed around how your E-Type is used, combining complementary engineering improvements that deliver braking performance appropriate to your car, your driving style and your ambitions.
THE DIFFERENCE YOU'LL NOTICE
Owners typically experience:
- Greater confidence under braking.
- More progressive and reassuring pedal feel.
- Improved consistency during repeated braking.
- Reduced brake fade in more demanding conditions.
- Greater reassurance in modern traffic.
- Braking performance tailored to your driving style.
- A more composed and confidence-inspiring driving experience.
ENGINEERING INTEGRATION
Rather than recommending individual components, our Braking Confidence programme integrates complementary braking improvements designed to work together as a complete system.
Depending on your E-Type and intended use, the programme may include:
- Uprated Front Braking Systems
- Rear Brake Improvements
- Vented Disc Conversions
- Hydraulic Improvements
- Servo Upgrades
- Stainless Braided Brake Hoses
- Modern Brake Friction Materials
- Supporting suspension and tyre recommendations where appropriate
Programme specification varies depending on vehicle condition, intended use and vehicle specification.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE IS ONLY PART OF THE EQUATION
Maximum stopping power alone doesn't create confidence behind the wheel.
Pedal feel, braking balance, consistency and predictability all influence how an E-Type behaves under braking.
Every programme therefore begins by understanding how you use your car before recommending an integrated braking package that delivers the greatest overall benefit whilst preserving the character and driving enjoyment of the original E-Type.
ARRANGE A CONSULTATION
Whether you're looking to improve confidence on today's roads, prepare your E-Type for long-distance touring or complement wider chassis and performance developments, we'd be delighted to discuss your plans.
Following an initial consultation, we'll recommend a tailored braking programme designed around your car, your driving style and the ownership experience you're looking to achieve.
