Front brake change

Post by laddyboy »

I need help locating the specs. for the front rotors on my 99 s80 t6. I am planning to change the front brake pads and thought it may be safe to change the rotors while I'm at it, but I don't think there's a standard size for the rotors.
:? Help please?

I don't knos the specs, but just ask for s80 rotors and pads from where ever you plan on buying the from. I suggest IPD and FCPGroton.

You have to measure the rotor before you order to make sure you get the correct size.

Can I recommend visiting www.dba.com.au where you will find two links, one for Australian cars and the other for the USA market. They have listings of all their models they cater for, with ALL the specs for each application, including the weight of each disc. I find it a really useful resource, and the weights are useful for calculating freight costs.

Only one problem with that web site. They don't have the S80 listed!
