[mhill53]

I'm about to upgrade my R to 302mm front brakes,I'm just wondering what volvo theses came on standard so I can source the parts.

No need to, the parts are widley available, pm RUFE on here and he'll give you a damn good price on the parts..

The pain free way is to contact Rufe (Simon) at FRF Volvo Swansea, tell him you are from VPCUK. He will send you a pair of discs, a longer calliper carrier and some pads. you will also need a longer brake hose, get BF Goodridge braided - worth the little bit extra.

The kit from Rufe costs about £175 (you will have to return your old carriers or pay an extra £30). The hoses, IIRC about £45.

MASSIVELY better and along with IPD anti roll bars, the best upgrade you can make: ie, you will ow be able to stop.

It is not terribly difficult to do if you have some mechanical competence and an Eezi Bleed.
