308mm rear brake upgrade
anybody done the REAR brake swap from XC90 to S60?
any pics? what's involved? Does it affect the handbrake operation?

It's a great upgrade for the XC or V70...not sure it's worthwhile for an S60 unless you are routinely driving it all loaded up or towing. The upgrade that made a bigger difference was switching out the 305 fronts for the 316's from the XC90. They still fit under factory 16's which is great. They do add a bit of weight to the feel of the steering though so again, great u/g for an XC or V70 but not so much for an S60 - I think it would take away from the more sporty feel of the latter. If you are on the 288 fronts on your S60, I'd go to 305's - all pieces are same except for bracket (and of course discs). Easy job but switching out the dust covers is a bit of a nuisance. Here's a link to the video. https://youtu.be/TPZgFElZNis

thanks all, I had already managed to find the above video with some searching!
I've already got 316mm up front just looking to fill out the wheels on the rear for aesthetic, but yes I also do enjoy loading up the brakes at roundabouts too
