brakes

[kimbaleeg]

hi just wondered if any one knows if you can get drilled/groved brake disks for s70R as some dafty has worpped my standard disks so need changed and thought ov getting some perfomance ones checked couple ov local factors including europarts and they all said they do them for the t5 but not the R please help thanks :troutslap

To warp the standard disks on an 'R', you must have been doing something seriously wrong.. - Suggest using the handbrake at traffic lights to allow the disks to cool uniformly rather than sitting on the footbrake.

Secondly it maybe caused by a failure of the callipers, you probably have a sticking piston, would recommend checking them and mebee a set of recon units.

I believe parts for volvo's online and Marshalls do them, both can be found on this site.

Don't use cheap'o pads, most cars I’ve had, cheap disks + Pads always seem to warp too easily.

Hope this helps ?

Seems very pricy indeed to me. Includes pads? Front pair only?

If you need replacement calipers - seek spares from www.salvogroup.co.uk (http://www.salvogroup.co.uk) - And dont forget to ask for VPC discount.
