[t5 pete]

Hello as some of us on here are unsure what brakes nath t5 has fitted to his car due to them being alot larger than the 302mm i came accross these and they do look the same

[cameron]

nice brakes.. not too many Volvo's going around with the 320mm factory upgrade from what I can tell.. or the Ohlins adjustable suspension as they were pretty expensive options when the cars were new.. I would say that if Nath has them on his car then he's very lucky! lol!!..

[cameron]

Not so lucky when he has too replace them though, especially if he goes like for like.

this is the so called police-upgrade.

320mm original volvo,you'll be lucky if you can source a set.

here it's impossible to find a set,gone.

But if you can order one for me aswell

Anyone know how much they are?, would be interesting to compare them against a Brembo upgrade..

this is a big brake kit(volvo)don'nt know whether Brembo makes these.

there are bbk available(330mm-4/6piston,porsche)cost about 1400-1500 euros

The best bet would be is to ask rufe surley they do spares for these

I'll be changing out my pads in the next week or so I'll send you my old ones if you want them to compare with yours at all?

[nathT5]

just found the discs on www.partsforvolvos.com £51.75 inc each.
they also list the full kit on there for £400.

not bad, i expected a lot more...

[nathT5]

this is the PFS kit, complete with discs, pads, hoses and wider carriers for £408 inc

[Tomcat]

Cool, that's a damn good price for discs that size. I Wonder if you can buy the discs cross drilled and grooved from other suppliers.

wow you went to town with the red calliper paint even the pads got the works lol

the PFS kit isn't the same, the PFS 320mm kit is intended for S60/V70 not 850's. If you also look at yours you've got a seperate alloy centre bell while the PFS kit is a single piece disc

i noticed that but just assumed it was because they were a different make of disc.
as for fitment, can you use V70 parts on an 850? i thought they were basically the same car.
i should still be able to fit the PFS discs on mine should,nt i?

850's and P1 x70's share a lot of similarities. That PFV upgrade is for the P2 car.

i did, did,nt i?

always do this on all my cars, looks smart with big dark alloys.
i rub everything with a wire brush and matt black all the suspension parts.
primer the brake parts and blast them with ordinary car spray, you dont need expensive caliper paint.
it goes all over the disc but once driven, it comes off leaving a clean contact area.
it never burns off, ive even used it on my race cars.

so does the 850, V70 P1 and P2 use the same stud pattern on the discs?
or is the P2 a different fitment?
