Mike, best of luck keep those rims round! You are braver than I, running those rubber bands on the ATL roads.
Glad the V8 project has come to functionality..... who said you couldn't finish anything?

Yeah- especially around Acworth- pothole city.
How’s your 242 coming along?

How are the wheels quality wise?
I am considering a set of these as well, I have some Eikers in 18" coming but always loved these when they used to be the original branded Gummi wheel.
Looks great!

Very nice example. The wheels are superlative.
Just noticed - your pad fit relative to the rotor is an issue....

The pads are just loose after install- after a couple stops they were fine.
I think he means the pads going further out than the rotors.
I don't think it's a big deal. As it wears you'll just get a little lip on the pad. I have a similar situation going on like that on the front of my PV, 122 calipers, using some 122 pads I had laying around. They fit perfectly... other than the pad material goes too far out like that.

No worries- stops great!
Glad to see another V8 Volvo, Mine is now 33 years old,325K miles on it. BTW my rotors have 120 holes each, bought all the brake parts new from Volvo in 1991. 275K miles later haven't had to replace anything yet, might need rear pads this year?. Will be at Carlisle this year hope to see you there.
