    I fitted Parts For Volvo's ones to the front of the S60, cost me about £55 for the pair including delivery.

    But how long will they last?
    I don't see the point in doing a job twice but that's just me.
    Ok if you are selling ,are you?

    To be honest, PRV are not exactly renowned for selling cheap stuff off that's fallen off the back of a lorry. The PFV stuff is pretty good and is designed to compete closely with OEM quality, so I trust the product to have a reasonable life span. To be honest, a brake disc is so easy to change I'm not too worried if in 2 years time they need doing again.

    ok... mixed bag of comments here then hahahaha. No im not looking to sell... i went down the cheap route last time and tbf... that was only 18 months ago and i am sick to the death of the squeaking and the front end shaking like a sh**ing dog when i brake from 70 to 40...... I dont want cheap crap again and i do alot of motorway miles every other weekend to pick my little boy up.

    So.. with the answers above in mind... is £82 quite high??

    I would give MRG or FRF a phone or email then compare prices for genuine against copy ones.
    Nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Hello Spooky, I went for these off of Ebay and they work very well. If you are not used to grooved or dimpled, they do make some rumble on hard applications and these have not faded much after some spirited driving. Will defo buy again.

    For a pair of standard front discs on my V70 T5 2 years ago, I paid.......£36. That's QH parts. Bought from Buypartsby.com. I've had no issues with them.

    I've just taken a paid of 302s of my '98 V70R AWD - there's barely a lip on them and they weren't warped, only took them off to fit Black Diamond discs. I think they're Volvo branded if you're interested? Open to sensible offers, and they're obviously very heavy so you'll need to collect or expect postage to be £10-20.
    Currently - '96 850R auto

    Previously - '97 S70 T5 manual, '98 V70R AWD auto, '98 V70R Auto in Nautic Blue Mica with LPG (went to Germany!), 1996 850R Auto, lots of various 940s, 960s and a crappy 850 2.0
