What size brake rotors do I really have? V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael on  Mon Jan 9 07:05 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Ok, I'm diving into the wonderful world of Volvo repair and need a little help. My '98 V70-T5 needs new brakes and rotors all the way around. I checked out Volvospeed and am confident I can do it, BUT, I can't figure out what size rotors I really have...I understand the best way is to measure them but that is difficult at best with them still on the car (with tires removed). I can't just take them off because I need to drive the car. The dealer gives me a part # for front (272276) that is for 302mm (he says 12 inch) while claiming that they should be 11 inch (280mm). When I used the best tool I had available to measure they look much closer to 280 than 302 but my measure stick was not the greatest and way too long for the job. I know my T-5 was manufactured in mid 97 and is all factory if that helps...


Thanks
Michael
