Let the fun (spending!) begin!!

That's a ££££ter mate, what you want is someone with a Volvo 850 that is using front suspension on the back of their car , that might be persuaded to take them off your hands.

I could trade in a beautiful set of genuine porsche 996 calipers? LOL!

[stribo]

I'll give you the obligatory curly wurly and packet of monster munch (flamin hot flavour) for them Chris.

If your going AP, get your order in early......
mine took 8 months or so to arrive!!

[Nealevo]

Just been quoted £1900 from AP direct ....ouch

[Hybusamini]

They r alot of money but they r worth it and they look the part

[JT]

I paid about 1600, but they gave a better price because of the wait

[MIKESC70T5]

££££ed right off!

The brakes I bought arrived today, and they are not as described! They are not 993tt fronts as advertised. After some research it turns out they are 996 rears, they are with the correct brackets to run on the front of the 850 with S60R discs, but not what I was lead to believe I was buying.

The guy who sold them to me said he wasn't any the wiser, and I tend to believe him. He sent me a link to his original purchase, and they were described as the proper 'Big Reds', so he didn't know any different. I knew straight away before opening the package, it was nowhere near heavy enough! It's highly unlikely he'll take them back for a refund though, bought outside of Ebay, and paid by Paypal gift.

I'm in two minds what to do;

Use them? Will they still do the job?
Use them for now, until I get some AP's or proper Big Reds?
££££ them off, and wait till a proper kit runs up?

I had these on my old C70 Chris and very happy with them. Greg bought them off me and I think he still has them on his T5R.

That's crap luck Chris! But seeing as you now have them why not try them? Can't do any harm and you never know you maybe quite pleased with their performance?

[t5 pete]

Bad news Chris are they the type where the calliper also doesn't cover the full width of the disc if you get what I mean

I may well do mate.

I'm not sure Pete, I don't know of anyone who has used these calipers before. I know the Renault Megane Brembos are a bit like that.

[cherry1809]

I hate ebay.

[martybelfastt5]

oh there they are on the fronts couldnt hurt to try them and they look well!!

[t5 pete]

I'm not sure Pete, I don't know of anyone who has used these calipers before. I know the Renault Megane Brembos are a bit like that.

I suppose the only way to find out then would be to fit them I hope they are a good fit for you as im not keen on the Renault setup for the sole reason the disc is not being fully used.
As said before ide love the ap set up but the price for them is silly money compared to being able to fit big reds and new 18's for around the same cost if not less

[martybelfastt5]

so what model are they off?? dont look like anything 996 i can find

[Volvostorm]
