C70Jeo Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 It was time to change my rotors. when I went to the dealer they said they had a 320mm kit for the S70 series. So I ordered them. They are huge. Now I need to get the calipers and pads for the new kit. Anyway while searching the net I came across this page Brembo GT upgrade kit 850 Has anyone tried this. I did not know that we had the same brake config as the E31 8-Series - 332x32 1-Piece Front - Drilled - Red On the brembo site I found this Click Here Chuck what do you think about that. I also read on another forum that dealer makes the same or similar 320 mm upgrade for the S60s Check it outHas anyone tried any of these kits? What are your thoughts? I'm especially interested in the 320mm for the S70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilled man Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 thats itPut it this way if you actually got the 320mm and not 330mm I will be very impressed along with finding the right calipers to fit. the S60R calipers are 330mm and they wont fit on the S70 . Trust me I have tried already but hey if I am wrong , that is freaking amazing since I have called four dealers that told me it didnt exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Don't you mean "They would look awesome"That link is regarding '01- models - I think you're gonna find they don't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanky Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hmmmm.....so how hard can custom brackets be to make for this series of Volvo's if everyone agreed on a certain caliper to mate them too?? I am sure if you could get like 20 people to go in and get a design made fairly cheap, with a caliper that easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure if you could get like 20 people to go in and get a design made fairly cheap, with a caliper that easy to find.my plan was to use the stock T5 calipers from 01 and newer cars. now my idea has changed a bit .... have you seen the calipers for the XC90 or the XC70 WOW there huge lol but from my quick checks it shouldnt be to hard , I do have spare 01T5 calipers and spare 98 Hubs so ? guess I just need to go to the machine shop and get something made . also have extra set of rotors to use .....(wrong bolt pattern but would be perfect for mocking something up)hmmm ideas ideas B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are a few companies who would do it for a decent price if you had the specs ready. There is a huge summit racing store here in Reno. I could always go down there and hustle one of the managers into a group discount if you can find a caliper that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildwood Calipers + S60R rotors = awsomeI already have the braket for that . I am also getting brakets from someone for the porsche kits and rear S60R kits also . And when I get those will be getting brakets made for the AWD cars to fit the rear S60R rotors on. Local Machine shop by me is willing to make what ever I want. I already have them making me new drop bolts for the rear of my car in SS :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
