Hi guys I'm the proud owner of a S70 2.5 20valve n/a manual.I'm really keen to use this for fast road and track day fun. I'm fully aware of its downfalls and want to address these issues asap.the braking is wholly inadequate as is the suspension. I'm happy with the power at 170bhp as all my fun is and will be in second third and fourth and fifth only on long straights. I'm not after racing starts so first gear performance is adequate so negates my need for a turbo. So now that's out the way what I'm after is advice on performance parts that are of good quality at an affordable price that won't when the car is driven on anything other than glass remove my teeth or spleen.its fitted with the correct wheels for the figment of 302 discs but am having trouble finding a suitable replacement caliper without needing a second mortgage. As for suspension it needs to lesson the body roll but give a reasonable ride as mentioned b4. I've had no experience with bilistein stuff, front and rear strut braces or lowering kits so any and all input would be welcomed. Also for this perhaps extreme use of what is a great car do I need to think of additional protection for the engine eg more cooling etc or maybe an sedative to protect premature wear of the engine. Many thanks.martin
