I am kinda sold on the Black diamond one. Can’t give an exact reason, but fancied that one even before others mentioned.

From my research I found out that there as many good opinions on BD as for "HEL" brand, so I just chosen the cheaper ones and easier to get. Those goodridges were not "in the picture" back then so cant really say much, but I suspect all of those does the same (good) job.

Yep, I did see it indeed! I reckon it could be the same, only the length may be different. I’ll check it later on. I just read it somewhere that the XC90 336mm would fit on the front, of you but as an RS for fords. They have the exact same setup az the xc90. I am just puzzled with the brake shoes. The bolts and the spacing might be an issue. I’ll check if I can fit an XC90 wheel hub, but doubt it.

Affirmative!
DHK661 is needed for the 320mm on a 2.0D as well! It’s the connection rather than the engine what dictates in our case!

To be honest if there would be someone out there who needs new braided brake lines it might be cheaper to buy the parts and do it ourselves. I did brake pipes and other hydraulic tubing. It’s not that difficult either. Just not economic for one car. 2 or 3 defo worth it.

I meant NOT BUYING the set, but making it ourself.
Not rocket science, and you can buy everything. The only downside is, everything comes in a pack of 10 or 20. For ez.: one car needs 4 banjo bolts not 10. Hence not worth making it if only one car needs overhauling.
