Al .... The impression I got from Jagayre was that they manufactured the kit themselves.

Gary, ( The fellow I chatted to at Jagayre) implied that all the Jag dealers in Oz purchase from them so they had sufficent numbers to manufacture in batches.

Jason will no doubt give you his impression of braking improvement as he seems to like burning up rear brake pads.

I want to improve back braking as much as possible as it seems the RMC's (leastwise those I've driven) seem to suffer from too much brake in the front. I feel this is maybe common to most jag suspended cobra's as those huge jag 4 spot calipers on the front, combined with the much lighter weight of the cobra just compounds the front/back brake relationship.

Cobra Restorers in Sydney used to offer a front brake modification for the RMC's which used a holden 2 piston floating caliper and modified rotors to fit. This removed some front braking and I'm told it worked extremely well as it balanced the jag braking at the rear.

A friend of mine and myself spent an afternoon at a local shopping center car park testing his RMC brakes. We chalked up all 4 tyres to see what happened under hard braking. Absolutely bugger all retardation from the back before the front locked. We almost got to the point of fitting a proportioning valve to the front lines would you believe.

Anyways...there was an editorial in one of the recent Snaketales which detailed the effort one owner put in to get his brakes working properly.

Certainly, the vented rear brake kit will at least keep whatever rear brake is there for a longer period in spirited driving sessions.

Only having 2 wheel brakes makes setting the car up for fast corners a bit of a gamble.
