S60 / V60 What is the biggest Brake disc size possible?
Owning a S60 D3 Automatic.
Love the car. I travel a lot on the highway and usually cruise at 200km/h (That's the maximum of cruise control) Without cruiscontrolling sometime I go flatout at max. However, all nice and relaxed but sometimes I have to push the brake and at such speeds the brakes don't really feel that good for the car. To be honest, the are crap at high speeds, it's awful. I need bigger discs, much bigger, the biggest possible with the best brake pads. What do you guys recommend? I have 18inch wheels. Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 235/40/18 |

I think this would be the biggest size brake disc available for your model.

Just get some Polestar brakes but they require a min 19'' rims .
not cheap but better than a stock setup or get some track type pads with more bite.

I would suggest trying grooved disks (drilled tend to get hairline cracks with higher heat applications) and some EBC pads (yellow or maybe red). Also bleed your brakes with fresh fluid.
They really do make a surprising difference and you might not actually need to go for huge disks and calipers. There are videos on YouTube of people testing them and loads of reviews on the forums.

I would suggest looking further down the road and lifting off when you spot a potential hazard.
