Tom Well
I can change out my pads in 30 minutes as well even with inboard brakes on my CCX. Seems like the XJS might be a nightmare since it is so packed in?

On the serious side, can't you get a good 20,000 miles off of your rear pads? Or maybe half that under track conditions? Rear pad replacement is a once or twice occurrence in the ownership of the car. |

That's what I thought! In fact I have had my car 20 years and 55000 miles and changed pads twice....and the discs once The sideshaft comes off ,,4 nuts a long extension ,an air gun and 1,,2,,3,,. The caliper does take a little effort (this is to change the discs) but..I also used to service Jags and the book does tell you to drop the rear suspension ,but I have done many jags pads including the handbroke pads without removing the whole rear end, its not the simplest job but.......on a Cobra there is a lot more space.
I think the unsprung weight advantage outweighs the servicability of inboard versus outboard brakes. thats a lot of pounds hanging at the end of the axle...

Not to mention the unsprung weight issue. ERA mounts their custom outboard braked rear in an aluminum sub frame with cast aluminum uprights. There's an overall weight savings of about 50 lbs. over the Jag rear while keeping the unsprung weight pretty much the same. Of all the cool parts on the ERA, the outboard braked rear is, I believe, the coolest.  |
