Timo had asked about the weight of the 4 piston caliper for the 200 series Volvos (offered for both solid and vented rotors)
Not as much of a difference as one would think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

Interesting. Only 2 lbs.
But, they are heavy. I have seen and tested them. We have lots of Volvos here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) You get 2 extra pots with Volvo calipers. They weight a litle more, but if you can live with that what are the other advantages ?? I dont know if they are cheep there, but they are quite a cheep here. That is one advantage. I think this is a conversion you can make, but the benefits are very questionable. |
