I have some brand new ones which I'm unlikely to use if you're still looking?
Not too far away either, about six mile over the old bridge.

Skandix have new ones in stock just now. Think a pair is 52 euro? They make a decent difference.
Would recommend ATE coated discs from one of the german parts companies, or ATE direct via amazon, think a front pair was £47 posted! They are identical to genuine from volvo, just don't come in a volvo box and added bonus of being coated to protect against immediate rust (works). |

Don't get too hung up on the discs for this worthwhile conversion. Cast iron is cast iron, the coefficient of friction is the same. Buy cheapest you can get. All the stuff you hear about 'warped-discs' is saloon bar hogwash. Discs very rarely buckle or warp, and why warpage is so often made as a mis-diagnosis is a whole new thread. Warping discs is about pads...
You want Mintex. What does matter is the pad. Mintex do three different pads for three different disc diams on this car for this very reason. Volvo and production car manufacturers in general do not spec. drilled & grooved discs too often. No real gains on a road car. That is why in all but the aftermarket boy-racer & d%^k-extension arena, you 'll not see them. http://www.mintex.brakebook.com You want Mintex MDB1984 for 302mm. Soft enough to make your rims grubby, (as stock fit) and wear the pad, not lunch the disc But listen to IPD on their Youtubevideo on thsi subject and they'll tell you low dust is good. That should worry you. My trick, (wahtever I did I could not get a firm pedal) - Bleed your brakes with the front of the car on ramps. Or park on a 1 in 4 after doing them and keep pumping to firm them-up still more. I heard thsi trick form someone who says this is in VADIS. Who knows, but it works.
