    Not Stoppin

    hi, Warped standard discs, so changed to tarox drilled and grooved 305 with black diamond pads, fade not so bad but still think could stop quicker at fast road pace . Is it the pads ?

    Hi and

    Black Diamond are not the best by far mate, go for some DS2000 or 2500 race pads, no fade at all

    Hi guys, thanks, its my baby, and the V70R

    DS performance and DS2500 pads can be fitted to standard disks on any Volvo, ring VT and speak to Hamish, i have DS2500 on mine, and after 14 miles of hells bells with a E39 M5 (that took less than 8 minutes ) there is ZERO FADE!

    Infact, they got better the harder you pushed them, absolutely awesome pads, and they are fitted to Brembo standard 302mm disks on my R

    DS2500 are awesome pads - it is what they use on the AP Kits (which is why you don't need to spend 1500 buying the kit). I ran them on my 850R and now have them on my C70. I have not heard or experienced any thing that comes close.
