Skandix almost giving away front brake discs

A lex · Apr 26th, 2015, 16:06

Its been mentioned a few times as a part of other threads, but this is really worth bringing to peoples attention directly.

Skandix are currently selling OE Volvo front discs for €138 per pair. Delivery will vary according to country, but ive paid €151 delivered. (approx £110).

This makes them significantly cheaper than even the nasty imitation stuff on eBay and considerably <50% of dealer RRP.

Even if you dont need brake discs right now, its worth buying at this price and putting them in the cupboard for when needed.

That is for the larger 336mm discs.

The smaller 315mm discs are even cheaper.

Hope this helps someone.

Apart from physically measuring them which needs the wheel removing, how can I tell what size disks I have fitted?
Is it to do with the model year, or wheel size?
I have a my2011 Exec with 19" wheels.

Scandix's site asked for my VIN, and it then showed the suitable disks - MOST were 336mm, and one was 328mm.
I'm guessing therefore that mine are 336mm.

2011 car will be the larger discs that I linked to.

@ JohnL, yes I mentioned in the post that others had linked to it here and there, but a direct thread will hopefully help some people out.

I think most uk spec 90's have the larger 336mm discs as there all AWD,

I'm sure that the smaller discs are for models fitted with 16 inch wheels.

Hi A lex; excellent timing, I'm looking into replacing mine in the very near future. Do Skandix also have Volvo brake pads for a good price - unfortunately my German isn't up to much!

Don't overlook the standard shipping cost to the UK is €18.
