Asinine Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I spent all day sunday installing some 'surpise' part numbers my Volvo mechanic friend 'found'. I was just wondering if that was a common big brake upgrade for 850s or if it would be worth me doing a write up with part number and price estimates.HELLA CHEAP.. and HELLA BIG!!

Asinine Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 It's the 302mm rotors and costed me about $100 more than doing pads and rotors of stock size.If you've got to do brakes.. do this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 How big and how cheap?I assume they are just 302mm, given the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickster151 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Not to sound like a dick, but from your original post when you said you came up with an "original BBK" I was expecting something more than a 302 kit. Tons of peeps have been doing 302's for years. If it was considored a BBK, it'd be the most popular. I would say it's a decent upgrade, but both my V70R's had them from the start so I have nothing else to judge them by [except some Stop Techs on a certain yellow T5R I drove] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asinine Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Well any time I'd seen a 302 upgrade it was like $600, so to do it for about $100 extra I thought maybe I had something that other people hadn't known.But whatever, given my wheels it's as B as i can go!?
