Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
The deed is done. The new 305mm rotors did the trick. Here's the breakdown. I tried to line them up as best as I could, you can tell the old ones are smaller. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/849/29857261948_809835e300_z.jpg You can see the uneven pad wear, looks like an accident waiting to happen. ht...

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
The set I ordered arrived today. These measure out to the 12" range as expected. I have to say, I wish they had plain instead of drilled. While I have never had an issue with their drilled rotors they still scare me a bit. These are beefy though, I should weigh one. I'll get that later. Saturda...

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
I'll be doing the brake job this weekend, I'll be sure to take some pics comparing the 2 rotors (new and old). I just hope I don't get chastised for the Brake Motive parts I'm going to use. Honestly I don't know how long this car will last and the bang for buck on the Brake Motive fulls set is incre...

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
Well, as you can clearly see, the brake pad is hanging way over the edge. If I've read the comments on here correctly it appears that US spec cars only had 2 rotor sizes available for the 2004 cars. So it appears that a set of 305mm rotors are in my future. Thanks for all of your help!! https://farm...

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
The wheels, as far as I know, are stock to the car 17". So it's possible that the rotors are the 320 as listed.

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
Does that apply to a 2004?

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
I'll try to get some pictures this weekend, I need to do a closer inspection anyway. I need this old girl to last me a bit longer.

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
in my quick inspection the pad does not cover the disc correctly. That and it brakes terribly. I actually thought it was the brake booster issue, but he inspected that and found no issues. So when I say its a safety issue that means I don't think I could perform a panic stop.

Re: Wrong Size Rotors - 2004 S80 T6
He simply said, the rotors on the front are the wrong size. Didn't say too big or small, just the wrong size. I asked to clarify the size and he said he didn't really know what the size should be, just a part number. He's a small shop and I imagine he wanted to do the work and get paid for it, but I...
