YEAH!! I'll say, that caliper is HUGE!! That's the biggest I've seen on a Volvo, much bigger than AP, and the ones I have just don't come close to that~! Nicely done.quote:

you will learn a lot about your car when it's mashed up against a wall, too.
Actually, the brake upgrade only mitigates adverse effects of brake fade if you were always riding the brakes, say on a race course. See http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/features/2002/september/200209_feature_braketest.xml The upgrades did help obviate the fade, but there wasn't really that much significant improvement over stock braking distances until you got into multiple laps.quote:

I agree, it is the best upgrade I've made. I can out-brake almost any car on the road. It's already saved my wife from being a part of a three car pile up. And that is the best input I've had on the car.
