XC 70 Upgrades

Post by Benji's XC70 »

Hello to all Volvo owners here, I am a newby and this is my first post. I recently bought a 2005 Volvo XC70, it has some issues but the overall condition inspire me to fix it up and improve it. Can someone here shed some light on installing a S60 R cluster in my vehicle, will everything work, can the mileage be manipulated with a programming tool? Can I install the S60 R brakes to my vehicle, what do I need the wheels to have in order to fit the larger calipers?

Advance thanks to all!

R clusters are top lit not back lit. You need the entire cowl, the lights and wire them up properly

Sure, big bucks

what do I need the wheels to have in order to fit the larger calipers?

Different wheels that clear the calipers
