    jag suggests replacing pads, rotors and sensors. aftermarket parts are not always the best. we use oem parts for this.
    fronts are about 400

    rears are about 450

    Roy is right, these cars frequently seem to need front rotor replacement and front spindle wear/excess front wheel bearing play is also common, his estimate is approx what we charge on that Jag in CA.
