Yep, that would be me.
It's a great upgrade for the XC or V70...not sure it's worthwhile for an S60 unless you are routinely driving it all loaded up or towing. The upgrade that made a bigger difference was switching out the 305 fronts for the 316's from the XC90. They still fit under factory 16's which is great. They do add a bit of weight to the feel of the steering though so again, great u/g for an XC or V70 but not so much for an S60 - I think it would take away from the more sporty feel of the latter. If you are on the 288 fronts on your S60, I'd go to 305's - all pieces are same except for bracket (and of course discs).
Easy job but switching out the dust covers is a bit of a nuisance. Here's a link to the video.
