Just to clarify a point made earlier on; you can change the pads on the inboard Jag brakes without having to drop the entire rear out of the car. There is a removable panel behind the seats that can be removed to access the brakes. It does help to remove the seats (four bolts each) to give you room to work. Having said that, however, there is no question that the outboard brake setup is easier to access and the suspension has provision for easier adjustment of the suspension settings, etc., but it does come a price premium.

On the street, the inboard Jag system is more than adequate. After all the basic system came out of a car weighing two tons or more vs. an ERA at 2,500+/-
