Lots a room. Dunno bolt size, can look at schematics.
Xc90 calipers and discs same too?
Let me know if you need lines for it - I can have a set made up for you, and they'll be ADR approved.

Yep, for sure Ash, it's important to have ADR on those, please send me a quote plus recommended fluid for a flush and fill.
I value your opinion on the pads I linked to above? And what you would recommend in pads too.

On another post I have been told of xc60 calipers, use them instead on the bigger discs so pads to suit them instead as they have bigger surface area.
VolvoMike;c-138707 wroteThe different size discs won't make much difference as they run the same pad. You'd be better off swapping over to the XC60 discs and calipers as they are a twin piston sliding caliper and much larger pad area.

@AshDVS?
If you're using the same caliper and pad, this is true to an extent - you dont have an increase in clamping force, but moving to a larger rotor gives you an increase in performance via an increase in leverage.

Think of the 280 to 302mm conversion that is popular for the P80 platform.
Its a noticeable improvement, it's cost effective but it isnt night and day type stuff.

The larger caliper provides more clamping force (assuming larger dia pistons, or more pistons) and the larger pad gives more contact area with the rotor.

I am now loking at the 336mm discs , XC60 calipers and pads and carriers and S/S lines , ( pads and lines from you,discs too?)
no problem. Just yell when you're ready.

What was the outcome? I'm pretty sure the 09-15 xc60 brakes were bigger than the s60 T6.

      Thanks, trying to clarify, do xc60 brakes need the xc60 riser to replace the t6 riser for height, or did volvo make the xc60 brakes taller by design (allowing me to just straight swap with new rotors)

      It's a straight swap. Buy the XC60 discs, calipers, backing plates and hoses and it will bolt on.

      Last question (hopefully). Are all 2010-2014 xc60 callipers for the bigger rotors, or do I need a specific model?
