For my '74 242 I'm looking into big brake options.
S60R calipers would be nice, but they're kind of hard to get hold of over here.
In my opinion XC90 brakes (316 or 336mm) would be quite the upgrade, and the calipers would probably have enough stopping power for a say 1400 kg/3000lbs 242, right?
They're easily available for around €70~120 a piece.
Compared to stock S60. They share the same PCD as a S60 caliper, but take M14 instead of M12 bolts.
I do have a set of XYZ 6 piston calipers and rotors off a XC90 but some of the pistons are stuck.
I could have them rebuilt, but the pistons aren't sealed, so durability here in north Europe wouldn't be best feature of them either.
What do you think?
