My chassis is an RMC I have a Watts link on either side of my XJS rear end to do away with trailing arms. The front upper wishbones are built wider to let the shocks stand upright through them. Not a major modification. Uses all the jag suspension bearings and really improves the ride / handling. The hand brake I modified with some linkages that made it too light for RTA specs. ( a bigger spring on the handle fixed that. )
The handbrake pads are about as big as a 50c coin so you can't do any "tricks" with them. Nothing wrong with a jag suspension other than weight.
