I've heard that using volvo 4 pot calipers is a common upgrade. Has anyone here done this?
What model volvo should the calipers be taken from and how much modification is required? |

ok,
prob nothin your interested in, got standard retrimmed seats, stock head (not RS), instrument clusters, chrome front bumper, 32/36 weber, plus heaps more bits and pieces in the shed. No RS2000 parts, except maybe one of the instrument clusters is good luck |

vctxr6ute,
the tx3 rotors you're using...can you give us some specs? diameter, cross drilled, ventilated etc. did you use the eurospeed kit in conjuction with these rotors, because apparently the rotors they supply don't clear the standard 13" steel rims. hoping you use the standard 13" rims..means tx3 turbo rotors will be ideal. |

Hoppers Stoppers do a kit for around $1450 for 290mm rotors and 2 piston Callipers, they also require a 15 inch rim.
Eurospeed offer a quality product though thats cheaper, it just depends on what your after, im unsure if either meet ADR requirements.
