Any ideas where to get the cheapest brake disks for a 2005 xc90?

Depends if you want Volvo or Generic parts ?

For Volvo you can either search for 'Rufe' on here who works at a Dealership and provides discounted parts, or there are a few traders on ebay who sell Volvo Original parts as well.

For Generic then again I would say ebay - you can get Mintex discs and pads quite cheaply there.

Much cheaper genuine parts from ebay trader 'volvopartstrade'. I've just had to buy new rear discs, pads and shoes - bought original volvo parts from the above ebay seller for total of £148 inc delivery - from volvopartshop that would have been £191 inc delivery !

I recommend genuine Volvo parts for an XC90, due to the size of the car, from experience aftermarket discs only last half the time or tend to warp.

I would normaly agree but I have had trouble with warped discs on all three models I have owned, never quite been sure whether this is down to the way they corode quickly or the India made pads fail to cool down quick enough. ? I have now tried brembo drilled and vented will be interested to see how they get on.

I would agree too , All it takes is for them to vibrate 6 months on and you will be out of pocket .. why skimp on a £30000 car ...?

I found the difference in price between genuine and aftermarket was a no brainer for me. I went for the genuine, and it only cost an additinal 10%.

I'm pretty sure that Volvo still have a deal on all brake parts. I bought rear pads/discs and handbrake pads in Jan for about £160 if memory serves me correctly.
