Hi ppl iv got a v70 T6 awd and iv got a Snabb air filter and a 3” turbo on the engine and re mapped originally 276bhp and now its 306bhp and 500 NM of torque.. want some bigger brakes and callipers all round but don’t want to invest in 3k -4K in some after market brakes…but have seen some yellow Porsche callipers on a 850r in the past.. has anyone got a v70 T6 and up graded the brakes.? Thanks rich
I would imagine the XC90 front calipers and associated 336mm V70 discs will fit. I fitted them to my V60 D3 R design that originally had the 300mm front brakes. Bolt on job and very cheap. Needless to say, a marked improvement over the original brakes. Keep thinking my V60 T6 AWD needs better brakes. It has the 316mm at the front, which almost seems too small given its 300 plus ponies. Have just bleed them so hoping it makes a decent improvement as I'm sure it hadn't been changed for a long time. There is alot of chatter about the twin piston 328mm stuff that is fitted to the later XC60s.... Not seen many of those on ebay whereas the XC90 are ten a penny. T.
Thanks I’ll research that thanks pal

If you go another route, keep me updated. Bled my 318mm on my T6 and been out today. Still not overly impressed by them. They are good, don't get me wrong, but they should be bigger and better for the performance of the car. Got any pictures of your V70? T.
