Hey everyone just wondering if anyone knows of any modifications i could add to my 1998 V40 SE to improve looks or performance. Perferably put things that you have used or know others have used thank you for any help.

When I bought my 2003 V40, the sluggish breaking bothered me from the start. I haven't seen many posts talking about this issue, so I wonder if the problem had to do with my particular car or the loose nut behind the wheel (equally likely in my opinion).

In any case, I bought a set (4) slotted rotorts (Power Slot) from tirerack.com:

and pads from Bendix (from a local distributor)

Significant improvement in breaking performance.

I know, I know. When you asked about mods, you wanted to hear about stuff to make the car faster, not make it stop better. But, hey... that's what I have done to mine.

I'd be interested to hear what other people have to say, though.
