[p fandango]

my thoughts exactly,guess what break everyone will be ruuning next lol

i might have a set of 302's for sale soon, just gutted i've put the 18's on the S60 now tho lol

[nottsgreent5]

wanted to go abit bigger and diffferent than 302s got to be on a budget tho theres a 312mm octavia vrs set up calipers carriers discs pads off 11 plate car 80 quid if anyone knows if they could be a bargain lol

[Nealevo]

I've had a look at my brakes today and the carriers are Volvo 302 items hope this helps you all....

[nottsgreent5]

yip it does mate brill

[Nealevo]

Nottsgreen vrs will bolt straight on :-) same distance in carrier offset

[swampy]

And any one fitting different calipers that require special hoses i can supply braided ones at a very good price.

[nottsgreent5]

your a star mate think ive found cheap upgrade then cheers

[p fandango]

I've had a look at my brakes today and the carriers are Volvo 302 items hope this helps you all....

so your set-up is

• 302mm caliper carriers & hoses
• Audi Coupe calipers (i'm hoping for twin pot)
• 336mm XC90 discs

[nottsgreent5]

sure there was a set of twins for 40 quid ebay think thevrs 1s are singles

[Nealevo]

Yep with braided hoses off 302 setup aswell pads from passat v6

[nottsgreent5]

might sound daft but why passat breaks and not audi ones

[Nealevo]

No idea I took an old pad that I got with the bits to my local spares place and that's what they came up with, it may well also fit Audi as vw use many cross reference parts :-)

[nottsgreent5]

thanks mate think im going to find some audi twins plenty of audi vw breakers near me wonder ir s2 calipers wil bolt up to 302s? mite be be wide tho lol

I can't see 302mm carriers fitting over a 336mm disc. That would be an increase in radius of 17mm which I would think would catch the carrier. It would be nice if this setup is the exact setup that is mentioned though.

[Nealevo]

My disc are 324.6 mm measured today and I don't have any rubbing which I was expecting, single piston caliper I'll take pics tomorrow

[nottsgreent5]

thats what i thought but can get most of the bits cheap was just going to give it go lol

[merc85]

I so want to be wrong, But i was just thinking the same, my 302 mm carrier only just clear 302mm disc's.

I Really think there will be some rubbing, so if the disc's are 325mm what were they off?

[Alan M]

Are they XC90 discs then as I thought only 316mm and 336 x 30 mm were the options available for that car.

[nottsgreent5]

just looked and there the only two options for xc90

[Alan M]

There are 320mm police spec phase 2 70 series T5 discs.
