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.
Not sure of the optioning now. Back then for me was 8 years ago. I ended up buying instead of building. Had larger front and inboard rear. I remember asking the guys in the shop about the options that they recommended. Almost all of the said larger front brakes, but said nothing regarding the "larger" inboards. Either way the brakes are good all the way around at the base level if the car is just going to be used on the street. And $700 dollars is $700 towards other things.
