Removing IRS under Quickjack?

[Knightrider]

I was chasing the reason that my handbrake keeps losing grip this weekend, and realised whilst under the car that one of my rear brake disks was heavily scored on one side. Quick investigation revealed that the previous owner (who had rebuilt the IRS as part on an ongoing restoration) had fitted one of the brake pads the wrong way round! I thought having bought the car with a refreshed IRS I could avoid having to drop it for a while, turns out I now need to replace the disk...

A couple of questions:

1. Has anyone tried dropping the IRS with the car on Quickjacks or similar? I have standard Quickjacks, lift the car about 24 inches. Am I right that if I take the IRS out sideways, it should have enough clearance? I was thinking of getting an ATV jack to drop it onto.

2. Do the Zeus replacement rear calipers use standard E-type discs and pads, or something different?

Simon, one observation is that the IRS can topple easily if not nicely balanced on whatever you’ll put it on.

Thanks. Yes - I have read that it is front heavy, so will either move the jack further forwards, strap it, or both.
