Moving the brakes inboard reduces the unsprung weight there by improving handling. Trust me it gets more complicated from there.

Jaguar has a unique disc-brake system where the discs are inboard, taking that 
weight off the wheels.
However, a PITA to service from what I know.


      The Audi 100 had those.  To replace the rotor, you had to disconnect the 
inner CV joint and remove the wheel assembly.  Putting the rotors inboord put a 
lot of stress on those four CV joints.
