440 Vented Disc Brakes

Aug 7th, 2003, 11:40

Hi,
Ive got a 440 (1994 1.8li) and at the moment its on solid discs on the front, how easy is it to convert to vented? Will i see much difference? What would i need?
Also sadly the backs are drums and they look ugly through my alloys!?!! Is it a big job converting this to discs? Again what would i need?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Matt Brocklehurst.

Hi Matt..

Not sure about vented disc`s, but i wouldn`t have thought they would look much better than the discs you have now. Try searching for some drilled or grooved disc`s-they may be a little more expensive, but they will look very nice behind a nice set of alloys. I understand that Feredo do a drilled and grooved disc set up with pads for about £100, but i`m not sure where to find them! Try www.needforspeed.co.uk - they have a car specific section, or you could try www.eurocarparts.com. You could even try searching for a Performance Volvo site, and seeing if they have anything they can offer you there.

Hope that`s been a little help!

You made any other mod`s to your 440?
