Why bother?? How often do you think that you will have to change rear pads? Anyway I have the stock jag setup and it takes 5 minutes to change the pads. Why spend the extra money and time????

John,
I suspect our car bodies are different. On the Contemporary that I own, the calipers are pretty tight against the body, and the pads are tough to get to without dropping the rear suspension. Jag actually had a trap door arrangement on the E type that these came from, I'm told, in the car to allow access through the floor. |

John you've got to understand this is coming from a guy who pulls a nice car apart to make it better. We don't understand him either but we humor him  |

I have a Jaguar with the inboard brakes. You are going to hate them. I know you don't plan on working on the brakes very often but when you do it is more than an all day job. Everything back there has to be removed to change the rotors. By the boook it is a 10.5 hour job.
My 2 cents
Ed

Because outboard brakes on our cars tend to separate the wheat from the chaff.  *
* On a fully-independent, limited slip, pin-drive set-up of course.

But you can't use roll bars for fodder. |
