Just to check, is it both the T5R and the 850R which were fitted with the larger 302mm discs or only the 850R.

As far as i know it was all the R models but i could be wrong.....

Also plenty of police spec standard T5's too.....like mine :wink:

I can vouch also that they can haul off speed without locking up. Had to use them seriously once to avoid an accident. I could feel the pressure of the seatbelt pushing hard on my chest i stopped that fast from about 60mph after rounding a corner into roadworks and sudden stopped traffic, but didnt lock up at all.

Volvo safety seriously saved my bacon and my wife and child too :remybussi

Nope - mine has the standard 280mm disks. 302s don't appear regularly on any of the 850s (there are exceptions, usually plod spec) - it is only on the 70 series that you start to find them.

Oh dear, I had been offered a pair of T5R caliper carriers for only 30 quid ! I think a little measuring is in order !
