    OEM upgrades

    Hello,

    I thought it might be useful to sticky a thread of OEM straight fit upgrades across 850/x70 models.

    I will make a start;

    XC90 spring seats on 850/x90 models (thnaks Steve)- meant to be a slightly stronger mount than the original type

    302mm R X70 disk upgrade- to fit you will need the R carriers which can be found from Volvo, 302mm disks and extended brake lines (please confirm).


    Thanks

    I understand the XC90 spring seats have superseded 850 ones anyway now

    You don't need longer brake lines for the 302mm brake upgrade, but if yours need changing anyway it wouldn't hurt to get the slightly longer ones.

    The C70 sports chunky steering wheel fits straight on too

    Tailgate, door handles, rear lights, carpet (slightly superior insulation and 4 piece), pretty sure roof gutter trims fits and has gutter running down windscreen.
