Sorry for bumping this thread, but probably best to ask from the pro.

So, as the post says P80 302mm brakes are easily fitted in 940s
And Down under here in Australia, DVS makes a killer 320mm Brake Upgrade for P80s
Link: http://www.dvs.net.au/320conv.html

And since people crash their Focus XR5 (I think they are the same as Focus STs ?) often, caliper and disc are not too hard to come by, it might be a cheap upgrade for volvo 940s.

If you can fit XR5 Brakes on P80s and you can fit P80 brakes on 940s. Does that mean you can fit XR5 Brakes on 940s ?

According to the guide, you need to add 4 6mm spacers (off topic question: do you put all 4 spacers between the caliper carrier and the hub ? I mean stacking them ? 2 spacers per bolt ?)
Does that mean if make a 320mm Brake Upgrade Adapter thicker (adding 12mm ? since 2 6mm spacer per side ?) I can fit the 320mm brakes on ?

Thanks, Any help will be appreciated : )
