new brakes,

[siamblue]

my front calipers arrived today Porsche GT3 monoblocks which will be fitted with 330mm S60R front discs, Goodridge hoses and dot 5.1,
so i have been busy getting everything ready for the change over, can't wait to get them fitted,
all in the front conversion has cost me £440 excluding the brackets to be made up, now do i keep the black ones and put them on the rears?

and where did you get the brackets from?

[volvolised]

Hi gary that realy is some bargain you got there, where did you source your discs mine were £190 inc from the main dealer which makes those calipers well cheap. But apart from all all that hope all goes well with the brackets if not sourced already i believe sw auto's make them

[thunderace]

yes gary spray em red and put em on the back

[Dacvolvo]

very impressive. You'll need a bigger engine now to get the best out of those anchors!

[volvolised]

DOh !!!, forgot that bit, yep definately fit & paint them red, they'll look well cool

Well the calipers i have been looking out for a long time, it was one of the last jobs to do to my old S70,
I am going to use Textar pads, as the seem to be standard fitment on the Porcshe's,
I got the black calipers on Pistonheads, inc pads shims for £100, but they are axial bolted and not radial as the axial bolts hit the stub axle and it is a pain to get them to fit, plus there is only a 27mm gap to fit the disc and the S60R disc is 28.2mm so i had to source another set of calipers, which i got from a guy in leeds, came with pads( textar 9mm left of pad,clips bolts and all the other bits for the caliper, £200 delivered to my door,
there is only one other person to fit monoblocks to his Volvo and that is Johann, and he has given me a host of info on the mono's,
I am looking at getting the brackets made up on Monday, got a good friend that has a CAD laser which will draw the brackets i need and will work out all of the measurements on the car

Gary,

Looking good garry. I've just done my brakes as you know so if you want a proffessional back seat driver telling you what you are doing wrong just give me a shout and I'll come round with the spanners.

Nice one Gaz looking cool mate, killing the Kinetic Energy is the key to brakes the more heat they can dissipate the better you stop lol.
