Volvo S70/V70 1998-2000 » Big Brake Kit

Big brake kits for 1994-2000 850s and 70 series have ranged in price from $1800 to over $2800, but thanks to the efforts of one of our customers (CJ Yother) and our R&D team, we have produced a premium level brake upgrade kit at a budget price. The kit includes everything you need for a simple bolt-on upgrade that requires no modifications and can be installed in about two hours.

This kit dramatically improves the braking performance and resistance to warping, not to mention the awesome appearance.

We’ve used engineered adapters, massive Porsche/BREMBO 4-piston aluminum calipers, original Volvo S60R 330mm (13") front rotors, front ipd braided brake lines, Textar "Yellow Box" pads and two quarts of ATE Super Blue performance brake fluid. Please note that 17" or larger wheels are required. Many wheels will require spacers to clear these massive new calipers.

Note: Due to issues with brake squeal, we have changed from the Mintex (Red box) pads to Textar (yellow box) pads in this kit.


Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle.

Amazing Item. Very easy to install. Works very well with Rear "R" Calipers.

BBK870 Reviewed by Peter Suchy from Near Gatwick Airport, England

I give this 5 for shear performance, amazing difference once the pads had bedded in, but as you have found out the brake squeal was unbearable with Mintex pads, though going to try Ferodo DS Performance pads. Very easy to fit and if replacement parts are needed they can be obtained from the relevant manufacturer supplier, ie Volvo for the discs and Porsche (or OEM supplier) for the calipers and pads, unlike an AP kit where the parts are less accessible. Wheels took a while to sort out but I used spacers which had little effect on the feel of the steering. But the car stops confidently from speed now whereas before it was worrying!!!!
