upgrading volvo calipers

Post by Minh »

This is just a food for thought piece...

Hey since it has been understood that the Volvo 240 caliper swap is tried and true method, I asked myself, "Self, what are the 200 series bricks upgrading there brakes too?"

I did some digging and found this - Aluminum 4 piston brembos, 13.1 inch x 1.25 inch disk brakes

Adaptor brackets can be ordered from the guy on the link.
A custom hat and 13.1x1.25 disc can order too.

This could be overkill... especially considering the dimension it could require a much bigger rim.
