V70R Brake upgrade
My 2004 V70R is due new brakes at the front, but i'm really not a fan of how quickly the stock Brembos fade.
I've been eyeing up a slotted EBC kit, but they all seem to be 320mm. I know the stock Brembos are 330. I've seen some people say 320s are fine, and also that they aren't. Wonder if anyone on here has upgraded the brakes on a V70/S60R before and can give me any pointers? Thanks

Can't help on the upgraded option but I just replaced mine with the stock brembo discs and pads. It's a daily so performance wasn't really an issue and it worked out at less than £140 for discs and pads via autodoc

Yeah. Was eyeing up an MTEC grooved disc kit, but wouldn't of been able to get it in time...
Ended up going with the stock brembos, they're decent enough.
