Brakes disc diameter

[Astro]

Hi,

i have to change my front discs (C70, 2300cc T5 1998) 17"
i have an old estimate of volvo garage part number is 271788.
I think it's a 280 mm but how can i be sure?
Well i've tried to see it by myself but it's not easy without taking out the wheel.

Any idea? a part number or Ref clearly visible?

Thanx.

And for the rest i change origin disc for Brembo Max (SLOTTED).
;)

You should have 302mm on the front. It is stamped into the edge of the bell of the rotor along with the minimum wear level (23mm) - but you'll have to take off the wheel to check.

Thanx, i'll check it.

Other :
I'd like to change brake system, but don't want to spend 2000€.
the best price/perf not to expensive.

Could help?

No need for big brake kits unless you like the looks. Decent disks and pads and suspension is what you need.

BBKs arent just for looks Dave, they do serve a greater purpose :)

And now,
i ordered 302mm, thanx but Brembo doesn't, only 280.

and now any advice about how to dismount Brakes?
i change pads and rotors.

And Wobbly, i didn't see the size of the disk written on.
I saw the 23 mm min. size, but nothing else (made in.., serial nber.)

Thanks everybody.
