I know of some maniacs from US forum asking the same exact question. So far one of them upgraded calipers only - from stock Volvo to Wilwood 6-piston ones, but those work WITH 320mm discs as designed as direct replacement. I would think this is better investment than looking for bigger discs itself, but a bit pricey.
(pic below, I saved it to drool over it some time ago... :P)
I also heard of swaps of brake systems from S60R models.
As for simply BIGGER discs, there is rumour (source - forum, so its all hearsay) that setup from Focus RS (mk2) is possible to mount after some modifications, but its only based on research and actual mods from Ford people (it is possible to upgrade ST to RS braking system, so technically if we can upgrade to ST system itsef.... ) sounds plausible but not actually tested yet by anyone.
Im almost 100% sure its possible to put 320mm on the rears, if you dig trough SS forum you may find people doing it. Not sure how difficult it is though, or how much you can gain. I would guess upgrade of front to better calipers + good (floating?...
) discs can do better than fiddling with rear.
Share any research you find - Im curious whats possible, wont be upgrading anything myself but would glad to see some succesful story
