Volvo discs are the best i have had........Purchase from FRF in Swansea for a good price...
A set of Police Spec of DS performance pad is a good idea too.....

No worries, however other people may love these discs, my opinion is only my experience and not gospel.....

I had some of these drilled & groove jobbies on my 850........ Worth a go if your discs need replacing anyway. IMO they did show some benefits over the standard ones under heavy breaking, although it is hard to tell how much of that was due to the fact that I replaced old worn out discs with brand new ones?

The price is similar though, so no harm done.......... take a few miles to bed in though, so don't go tailgating anyone!
