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) |

Depends on "your" streets. If I take your car out on HWY9 near Santa Cruz Ca. with BMW calipers and hang it all out. I promise fade just as bad as the stock calipers if not worse.
I'm sure Tn has some roads where heavy braking is required. For daily street use and AutoX they will be fine... but then I question why the person installed them if that is all they where going to use the car for. B |
