ERA Brake Upgrade Questions

Strictlypersonal (Bob from ERA) has mentioned it is not that big of a deal to lower the entire rear cage. Basically 4 bolts, or something like that. I dunno, I looked at that possibility and decided I'd rather eat glass...

Thus the term "cage fighting." He's also gone on record as saying the unsprung weight of the Jag and ERA rear are pretty much the same. I believe him on this latter point.

I would believe him too. A fine fellow, Bob P is. But it may be a matter of number manipulation. If you do it as a percentage, everything is much closer if in both cases, you add the weight of a wheel and tire into the equation. Mind you, how many Cobra owners drive over rough roads or worse, drive it hard over rough roads, so unsprng weight is probably a non-issue anyway.
