They'll fit, the early (phase one) V70's are virtualy identical to the 850's...bar the obvious cosmetic mods.

Well, they claim to be 305mm which MIGHT be an error - because it should read 302mm. And yes, I think they will fit because all V70/C70 gained 302mm discs - which 850 did not have at all. That said, it is easy to remove a disc and measure it - or else run a string round the circumference and divide it by Pi (3.142) to find your diameter.

so ALL c70 t5's had 302mm discs? my local motor factors when i rang them asked if i had 280mm or 302mm...............funking idiots

it was pot luck on C70's as to which size they had. My local shop could only find 302's listed for S/V70R's

my opinion.... I have just (last week) ditched a pair of front drilled/grooved & rear drilled/grooved discs. NOT worth the money, don't stop as well as standard Volvo discs (brembo discs are great too).
I honestly think they are a waste of money. Not only do they not stop as well as standard discs, upon braking, they rumble & click. Never again would I fit such discs.
Simple....Don't do it.

Better to invest in decent pads - I can thoroughly recommend the Ferodo DS2500 - worked brilliantly at Cadwell Park.
