RIght you lot that want the 302mm upgrade,I might and probably 85% will be selling my 302mm set up on the front of my S70 T5,
You need to have 16 inch wheels or bigger,the old 850 columba wheels will not work with the 302 set up,
The discs are only one year old,No wear at all on the discs or marks,Not warped either which is common with the standard 280mm discs,I will take pics and get dimensions of meat left on the pads in the next week or so when i get the wheels off as i am getting the springs replaced on the old bus,
As well as the discs( EBC Turbo groove) obviously both carriers will be included in the deal,and the front pads which are Ebc Redstuff will go with the discs and calipers as they are already all bedded in to the discs,I won't know untill i get the wheels off how much is left on the pads,But the car has done 8k since change of pads and discs at a cost of £250,
Reason i am selling is i have a good deal on some 14" discs with 4 pot calipers coming up,and need to put the money i sell the 302s for towards the bigger brake upgrade,
I might be willing to sell the carriers seperately,But i need offers first for the whole set up,Otherwise i will list them on Ebay.Volvo want £90 per carrier and i think VT want £60 each,probably both plus the dreaded vat,Just to put things into perspective for pricing,

PS This 302 setup is ideal for a volvo,Who wants a cheap upgrade,and do not want to justify £250 odd on brakes,
Best pic i have so far,

That's a mighty fine price from the main stealer,
