    302mm brake conversion parts?

    Changing to 302mm as mine could do with a freshen up, can someone confirm the parts i need please?

    302mm disc's OE, standard 850 pads OE, v70 p1 cailper carriers (can these be bought from volvo for a reasonable price? and use my orignal bolts?) and these flexi's http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...ducts_id=1986?

    Im only changing because my discs are slightly warpped and looks more than anything, im quite happy with the performance of them as they are so not sure if i need uprated pads as the ferodo's that most seem to use are quite expensive.

    Thanks for your help.

    Simon.

    You don't need longer hoses just change the carrier for v70r ones

    I'm sure Volvo make them longer just for the fun of it, as its something important like the brakes I think is spend the extra £30 to make sure it's right & safe

    Ok thanks everyone. I'll get new hoses anyway as the backs need doing aswell and the ones on there are probably past their best now anyway.
