  1. XC90 (SPA: 2016 - )
    Gonna go ahead and start making this thread/post for a DIY (You can do the thing!) brake upgrade on my 2019 XC90 R-Design. Purchased a full set of R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors + pads from Amazon DIY pics/vids to come below....

    Hey all, I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this. I have an interesting query and have been struggling to find much useful info regarding what I'm attempting to do. I want to upgrade my OEM 245 brakes, however I want to do it as affordably as possible. It's also required that this new...
  3. S60 (2001-2010)
    Hello everyone, I was just wondering if it’s worth it to do the rotors and pads myself on my 2005 s60 2.5t? I let my brakes get very bad, which was irresponsible because money is so tight right now (I keep up to date on engine maintenance), and now I haven’t been able to drive my car due to the...

    Our 2005 V70R started developing a shake on the highway. It would exhibit worst around 60-75mph when first getting on the highway, and then go away after 10min of driving or so and if I increased my speed. It could also reappear after extended driving on the highway. As an example, we drove...

    In your car, it is more important to be able to stop than it is to go fast. Whether you’re driving a rather tame sedan, or a fully modded muscle car, you have to have absolute trust that the brakes will do the job and bring you to a stop. Regardless of what you drive, a performance car needs...
  6. S60 & V60, V60CC (SPA: 2019- )
    I changed the front brake pads with a friend today. It was a longer process with surprisingly little information from other sources. Details ranging from hex screw size to jack points were tough to find. Here we go! What’s needed: Center cap remover Jack Brake pads Brake lube Ratchet 3/4 socket...
  7. S60, S60CC & V60, V60CC (2011-2018)
    Hi, so I've recently upgraded my 2011 S60 T6 to the polestar big break kit. Looks great, but I want to have an upgraded Brembo set on the back, preferably OEM. I've attached an image to this post. Would these work? They're from a P2 Volvo, but is it possible to transfer them to my P3's rotors...

  10. R Forum (2004-2007)
    So i searched the inter web high and low for a V70R. having once owned an S60R and a 740 turbo wagon I really wanted to replace my daily driver with a manual transmission V70R. While searching i came across a low miles (56k) S60R and figured this is too good an opportunity to pass up. The low...

    Have a full kit with all parts needed to swap onto a non-R vehicle. Was going to install on my 09 s60 but ended up selling the vehicle. Calipers could use a refinish but are in working order. I have the piston seal kit from viva performance as well. Only thing you will need is pads, rotors...

  12. S60 (2001-2010)
    Hi all, looking to get some more bite to my brakes. I have an 07 S60 2.5T w/ 17in wheels. I've heard about a possible XC90 conversion, but I think that may be a little more involved than I'm interested. I was hoping someone could make a good recommendation for a more plug and play upgrade for me...

    I have a brand new front set of OEM S60 Polestar rotors and new aftermarket pads (Porterfield R4) recommended by a few folks with P* for street and light track duty. I sold my 2016 Polestar a while back, and was getting ready to do a complete brake service before it was sold. These are...

  14. S40 & V50 (2005-2012)
    My clutch has been slipping and the pedal engages high from the floor. This started after I replaced all my brake pads/rotors, replaced a bad caliper, and bled the brakes. I had a leak in the system which caused the master cylinder brake fluid reservoir to go dry, which I'm sure put air in the...

  16. S40 & V50 (2005-2012)
    I was working on my brakes bleeding the fluid tonight to screwed up. The piston fell out and dumped brake fluid on the floor. Fortunately the reservoir didn't go empty so I shouldn't have air in the system. I was able to get to rubber boot around the piston and push it back in. Is there...

  18. XC90 (SPA: 2016 - )
    I occasionally have a problem where I start the car and immediately put it in reverse, but the brake booster does not start working until I let off the brakes and push the pedal again. I really thought I was going to back into the car behind me this morning. Has anyone else experienced this...
  19. R Forum (2004-2007)
    So let me start off by saying, I've bled this system many times. First using the pedal-pump method after switching to stainless brake lines, and the later few times with a Motive pressure bleeder. The car is a 2006 Volvo v70r Automatic This has been over the course of a few years, and I still...
