Sorensin Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi there, is there anyone who has actually done this upgrade with the brakes from a 245 VOLVO? If so I'd love to hear from you. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Have any of you looked into Peugeot 4x108 discs? They commonly come in 247, 266, and 283 mm in a variety of thicknesses, particularly with the 283s. I remember some weirdo talking about Princess calipers 'bolting on' to a 205 GTI, although after typing this, I can't actually see the relevance.

Sorry I'm nub and this threw me 'One pair of Volvo 140, 160, 140 or 260 front brake calipers' I wasn't sure if 245 would be the same?

Gaz Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sorry thats assuming the ones in question are the ones that are talked about/gp onto escorts. If so they usually go for over $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 yeah, they will go onto non vented disks the expensive ones are the ones that are from vented disks as then you can get vented disks too, i have given away one set of vented for free, sold a pair for $60 and usually sell my non vented ones for like $20 a pair, maybe i dont charge enough lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
