I can actually speak from experience.

On my remapped D5 I'm running T5 sized 305's on the front, stick with normal Volvo discs they are more than up to the job. As Clan states you just need the larger caliper brackets as the caliper is the same on the 286's. I've fitted Goodrich braided hoses and run R600+ brake fluid. I'm currently running yellow stuff front and rear but would not recommend them as I get strange random brake fade when they are really (really) hot. Having experienced Carbotech XP10's that is what I would go for next but they cost £££ for a set, they are worth the £££ but I can't really justify it. Police spec pads are supposed to be good so I may try them next.
