What brake set up are you running?

[T5RatherAmusin]

Few of my mates are running K sport 6 pots all say very good things bout them ��

i was looking at theyr 8pot before i got offered the brembo set at an offer i couldnt refuse.

[hrhvolvo]

Ones that heat up alot without showing signs of rubbing at all, and they're new!

[mitchyboy01]

My brakes would on my car would stop it better than if I was running urz on mine simples because they are designed for that purpose.

And if u fitted AP,s designed for ur car on urz they too would stop it better than what ur current set up is, because again they are designed for that purpose.

Not necessarily mate. If both brakes have the power to lock the wheels then there won't be much in it. Where the larger brake setup will come into its own will be through superior heat dissipation when doing lots of high speed braking such as a trackday.

I must admit though that my new 6 pot set up does give superior feel at normal speeds but this may be just due to the different pad compound and braided lines.

Who cares though, they look bloody awesome lol

the brembos are leagues above the old t5 brakes

But you had baby calipers and not the facelift xc90 style caliper

The thing with the 336 kit is the initial bite-in. Where you could get straight on the pedal hard with the 305 setup, the 336 would put your head through the windscreen. It caught me out a few times. Got chavboy too lol.

That's more a fair comparison rather than a willy-wave. There's a huge difference between the two.

All I said was the R had decent brakes, but apparently that's a willy wave.

I can't because Graeme says they're no better than the 320mm single pot set up on the later T5s. Does make you wonder why Volvo bothered fitting them, maybe they should have consulted Graeme first.

its face. his calipers were smaller so he cant compare them to mine vrs s60r brakes. but personly i dont give a toss anyway. im more than happy with the brakes on my car. if i thought they were crap i wouldnt of sold the brakes off the R

And it's fact that the R has decent brakes, but as usual, you had to point out that your T5 is just as good as the R. It's also fact that Volvo would have spent a small fortune on the R&D of the R, so they fitted Brembos to it, as they felt that standard T5 brakes weren't good enough, or do you know better than Volvo?

But that's exactly what you have been doing. And why grow up? because I made a pertinent point you have no answer for, perhaps you should learn the art of debate before you pick arguments.

[M-R-P]

I was talking about what Graeme's comparison of the 2 types of standard P2 caliper and your reply to it, not your brakes.

I know mate, even though I didn't compare the R brakes to any other cars, Graeme had to chirp up how they were no better than his, but he wasn't playing black dog games.

[M-R-P]

Got nowt to do with my reply tho.

There's only one person being childish here, you, starting arguments, then when you start losing throwing your toys out of your pram, and claiming you want nothing to do with it. So, ignore my posts, but other people are getting tired of your "my car is the best car on the forum" attitude, it won't be long before you have a very long ignore list.
