why dont rally cars or off road trucks/buggys use them? wouldn't the reduction of unsprung weight be beneficial in offroad situations? anyone know any cars using them?

They overheat.
They are difficult to replace.
Jags had them for a while, and they were not good.-P

Yeah, look under an old E-type sometime. They are pretty BA. A lot of the lotus 7 replicas use them too.Comment

The only advantage of inboard brakes is the reduction in unsprung weight. The disadvantages are difficulty in cooling the brakes and difficulty in changing pads/rotors (especially rotors).The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

We used to have a formula car hanging from the ceiling at work that had inboard brakes. Pretty neat stuff.Comment
