I don't bimble, but the brakes have never, ever been lacking. I don't have the Polestar upgrade on our current XC90, but if I wanted a bit more vim, that would be what I'd spend my money on first. It's an internet forum. You post openly, you get what you're given in terms of advice....whether it's what you expected or not |

So standard discs and pads are all ok for emergency service XC90s who are often driving on the absolute limit, but not for joe bloggs tootling around in his XC90.

They didn't ask for your opinion if you would or wouldn't install them or if you think they make a difference, just simply if anyone knew if they were available (which they are but not massively cheap). They even mentioned it would be for aesthetics as well as actual increased performance. Just for info, my brakes are still as they came out of the factory, they just happen to be massive 400mm cross drilled Akerbono units with 6 pot Akerbono calipers, so yes, I'm happy with 'stock'.

Opinion posted. Responses received (some maybe what was wanted, some not). Move on. If you don't like posts, don't read them (applies to everyone). If you really don't like them, set up a site and moderate. It's not hard. The reason these parts don't really exist is perhaps indicated in the responses on here. It's all good. Nobody's hurt other than a few grammes of carbon for page impressions. |

If they've not done that particular setup before you may need to send them a sample of a stock disc unless you are good at engineering diagrams. Certainly worth a call. heicosportiv do a lovely 2 piece 6 pot set up for 6k if you are feeling spendy, 2.5kg a corner lighter than the Polestar Akebonos What size are the stock discs, the Polestar are 400mm, on my Punto for example the sports discs were no bigger than stock so you could just swap out for the light floaters if you wanted but that was because the car was sporty in the first place, I'd hazard a guess that is not the case for the Volvo.

The parts the OP is asking for are available so why shouldn't they feel like they should install them just because a handfull of narrow minded keyboard warriors go off on rants for no reason at all.

If throwing out 'click bait' is the only way you can brighten up your sad little life then I really do pity you and I would feel sorry for you but whats the point, maybe its time to grow up and stop being a **** (read into that however you wish) but I cant see that happening anytime soon.
Now lets give this thread back to what it was intended for, helping (or not helping) a person decide if performance brake disc's are worth fitting.
