When I write "no advantage to inboard brakes" I say that because the configuration of the ERA outboard rear, as compared to the standard Jaguar rear, keeps the unsprung weight at pretty close to the same number. Plus, the outboard rear is 50 lbs. lighter, and is a bit more tunable. The inboard brakes also were prone to overheating during race conditions. My comment should be viewed in the context of ERA Outboard Braked Rear versus ERA Standard Jaguar Rear Only, not as a general catch-all statement for cars in general. The only down side to the ERA Outboard Braked Rear is that it costs more. |
