    Volvo S70R brake upgrade

    Hello!

    I would like to ask your help for this thing. I need to improve my Volvo S70R brake system. Is the Volvo S60R a good choose?

    Some say it's too large, and the supports are weak, what can you tell and advise me?

    Some choose about Porsche, well everyone are Brembo...


    Thanks!

    Hi, have a look at this link for carbotech brake pads. They seem to be a popular choice with the drivers that do a lot of track driving in the UK:

    i'm sure you can't use S60R brakes on a S70, i think the offset on the disc is wrong
