Hey Neil,

Sorry to hear of the issues you've had. For what it's worth, we carry the Cardone units at FCP Euro and have had great success with them. They're rebuilt factory ATE calipers and the quality on them has been great so far. I personally just bought a set for my XC90.

You can view them for your car on our site here: https://www.fcpeuro.com/Volvo-parts/V70 ... nd=Cardone

If you have any questions on them I'd be more than happy to talk.
You can reach me at [email protected]

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason,

I would normally come to you guys as a first point of call (I am a VIP member) but the core charges and shipping back the cores make the process far too expensive to consider for these parts. Any parts with core charges work out too expensive for us up here in Canada to send back. It is cheaper not to return the cores, but even then it is more expensive with the exchange rate at 73c on the $CND just now.

It is always good to know you guys have our backs!

Neil.
