iwanta:

Aside from the outboard brakes, the ERA rear adds a fourth link that helps control the movement of the hub. According to those ERA owners who have tracked their cars and have experience with both rears, a car with the ERA rear corners a little "flatter". Too, the outboard brakes are easier to provide ductwork for cooling even though there may be a minor increase in unsprung weight. However, unless you are a serious open track type guy or are (in my opinion) an abuser of clutches with wheel spinning starts etc. the Jag rear is more than adequate and provides an excellent ride.

I've had both rears and have never experienced any wheelhop with either system.
