I'd be more concered with how to get some air scoops rigged up to keep them from melting the differential seals, overheating the rear end oil and such. Changing pads and bleeding the rear (which is critical if your racing) is a real nightmare with inboards. On the ERA the panel behind the seats can be removed to gain access, if not for that even bleeding them is dam near impossible!
Thanks, I have no experience with them. Honestly, just looking at the rear Jag brakes they seem really small and inadequate, but seeing that you have experience with them I'll just go with the rears as is and see how they do.

I have the entire interior out of the car right now. I'm wondering if I shouldn't somehow cut neatly done access panels into the rear bulkhead for brake service.
