Are you sure? The options list page Options list shows the Jag Rear at $4500 and the ERA Rear at $5200, if I'm reading that right. The larger brakes, on the other hand, are $1400.

Now back years ago, when I was spec'ing out my car, I'm pretty sure I remember Peter telling me that you wanted to keep the front and back brakes "consistent." Meaning, if you went to the larger on one, you went to the larger on the other, but you didn't want larger on one and smaller on the other (either way around). I also see that ERA has discontinued a larger brake option for Jag based rears. Big brakes And, if I remember correctly, you either did it all, or none; there was no "in between." Things may have changed, though.

Now, if all that is true, an "upgrade" to the bigger brakes and better rear is a $2100 option.
