    S60 R brakes would be the easiest option. all you'll need is brackets, disks, calipers - verything should bolt straight on 360mm all round
    19t, greens, 3" inlet, 3" downpipe with race cat, V70R catback, autotech map...

    or upgrading to T-5's if your on a smaller budget. You use your original calipers & just replace the caliper carriers, that gives 305mm discs

    thats assuming all D5's come with the smaller 288mm

    That's because your oil is so old, it's turned to crunchy grease!
