[ERA174]

I'm not a mechanical engineer. However, I don't see the 94-96 XJS to be superior to the standard inboard brake Jag design. The ERA optional outboard brake rear suspension (currently unavailable) was designed to be superior to the standard Jag inboard brake design. The standard Jag rears in the ERA's is more then up to the job for most builds. The torsional loads introduced into the control arms/axel are the down side to the Jag outboard brake design, in my opinion. The inboard braked Jag rear suspension transfers the torsional forces when braking to the solid mounted rear differential, which can easily handle those loads. Although the outboard Jag rear brake design does make the calipers/pads somewhat easier to access, I believe the inboard brake design is superior. Now, If my conclusion is flawed, please someone enlighten us all, no offense will be taken.
