For street use, the stock Jag works perfectly. For some limited open track use, (like a SAAC convention), consider an upgrade to Wilwood type calipers and 10 1/2" vented rotors. I have used the Concours West system for years in heavy open track use, but have had to upgrade further, to race type pads such as Performance Friction, and added a somewhat ungainly cold air induction system to stop fade. The outboard brake rear is the ticket for hard track use for a variety of reasons, such as better geometry control, less weight, better brake cooling and ease of adjustment. Then again, some people have to have all the bells and whistles when they go to the car shows. You can never tell when you might need better rear control backing out of the trailer and putting across the grass.
