I have  just secured the purchase of these HiSpec 'Monster 6' pot 335mm brakes for the T4. Direct bolt on too. Very happy. Roll on the trackdays next year. Should stop the car a lot better than stock. The brakes on Volvos I've driven have always been a weak point given the power of the car.Here a pic of them:

Anyone else on here got big brake conversions and have you found them to be a worthwile improvement?

I can vouch for them, I've had first hand experience of them being used 'to stop bloomin quick' lol

That's good to hear. I have found the volvo ones just aren't up to the job when really going for it. On the track i think they would lack power and fade embarrassingly quick. My friends Cupra has stock Brembos which put the Volvos to shame. Even my missus 1.2 clio and my work van has much better brakes than my volvo.

I haven't found anything at a good price. Sold off my Porsche units last year.
