There is some fantastic information posted on their forum, and as a newbie to Volvo's great to read.
However, what is lacking if a definite list of modifications, with relevant part numbers.
I have spoken to my local dealer about XC90 drive shaft bolts and he gave me a weird look and came back with a wheel bolt!
It is work for someone but a list of recommended mods would be extremely helpful and something I would be willing to pay for!
Thanks in advance
Regards

Thanked 1,393 Times in 1,068 PostsAs said before, i wouldn't waste my money on Braided brake lines. Volvo ones on the Rs are reinforced on the inside so you won't gain any brake performance over stock.
