Boomin850 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 what all does it take to install the R calipers on my 94 850 turbo?? all im asking for is help not a re-direction.Forget about the front ones....not gonna happen. For the rears you will need the brackets made by CJ (330+T5R) and a 5mm spacer iirc (and 17's that will clear them)rear brackets are $125 + sh from CJ btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrick II Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 so the only way to go with 4 pots would be to go with a big brake kit with 4 pots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a SEARCH would yield some results?-Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geevs Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I read over at some Euro-based forum that Volvo has a 320mm (yes, that's 320mm not 302mm) brake upgrade kit. The fellow installed it in his 850, he even listed the part numbers. I saw the pics but it wasn't the R calipers. Probably more like the brakes for the s80 or xc90. Anyone know or have details on this kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asinine Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Is the 302mm BBK not a real BBK at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
