HOW TO EASY MEASURE AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT BRAKE FOR YOUR VOLVO

In this example, we will produce brake pads up to our V60 from 2014 and with the information about the size of your brake disc, you can also choose the right brake pads, brake caliper, brake hoses and other brake parts that are different due to the size of the brakes.

There are initially three different sizes of brakes on the front of this model and it is the same braking system as for example Volvo V70, XC70 08-16, XC60 and S80.

Bring out a piece of cardboard or something to be able to poke into the rim to access and measure the surface from the center and out towards the edge of the brake disc and measure.

Make a mark and then use a ruler to find out the exact measurements.

When you have this dimension, go to a brake disc and compare your dimension with what we have in the pictures.

Perfect! Write down what size it is - for example 300mm, 316mm or 336mm.

These dimensions are the total diameter of the brake disc. So if you already have the wheel and / or brake disc of the car, you can measure directly or check under the brake caliper holder where the size is also stated. However, it can be a little harder to see due to. rust.

In our example, we have 73mm and thus 300mm front brake discs. With the help of it, we can choose the right brake discs, brake pads, brake caliper and other brake details.

Under each product, we have collected and selected good accessories and products that are right for the part you are looking at. So for these brake discs are the right brake pads & slide bolts as an example.

In principle, all cars have ventilated brakes at the front - but at the rear there are both ventilated and solid.

Here you can see the difference between a solid and ventilated brake disc:

SOLID BRAKE DISC

VENTILATED BRAKE DISC

As an example, our V60 has solid brake discs at the rear, but it is the same brake pads for both solid and ventilated brake discs. There it is the mounting kit for the brake pads that differs and the brake disc itself, brake caliper and hoses.

We have sports brake discs with a slot that gives the disc better cooling and sends away dirt - supplement these with a pair of green stuff, red stuff or competition pads yellow stuff and you have brakes that can handle a harder driving style without problems.

Here we have gathered information about the different sports brake pads greenstuff, redstuff and yellowstuff.

We have ready-made packages with sports brake kit for several Volvo models.

You measure and find the right brakes in the same way as the original.
