If you have 16 inch wheels, the 320 rotors will not fit anyway. Send what you got back to FCP. 305 rotors are larger than what I had on my 1998 V70R!

I did go to ceramic pads and slotted rotors on the R, plenty of stopping power. But in hilly country like W VA, I liked to downshift to 3 or 2. It's more fun that way and keeps my foot off the brake pedal.

Even going down Pike's Peak was no problem. 2nd gear worked wonders!!
