I paid £360 for my kit second hand off this forum many years ago.

The cost of replacement consumables is nuts and I couldn't live with it anymore!
Hi the standard maximum wear on a Volvo disc is 3mm i believe, that is why a lot of us run or are going to run Brembo 4 pots with Volvo discs,
I am currently making up and sourcing parts for a Brembo set up that will use the 302mm discs, instead of the costly 330mm discs, i know all about the heat dissapation but have found a smaller caliper that will work fine on the 302's, watch this space,
