Rear disc size

artiedtke · Mar 16th, 2013, 20:39

Went clay pigeon shooting this afternoon, great fun. While I was there I noticed a Phase 1 V70 T5 (driven in by an old lady i think) parked up near me in the car park.

I don't know if it was just me, but the rear discs on it looked huge in comparison to mine.

Did the T5, or the V70 T5 come with bigger discs up rear ? I was under the impression that the brakes on the 850/V70 were all the same apart from the 302 discs on the R models ?

Rear discs are 298mm on all the models so are actually bigger than the fronts on 280mm disced cars
