Front Calipers C70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be bret binder on  Mon Feb 18 04:05 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I recently bought front rotors from Frank Derks at Eurosport tuning. They are beautiful (cross-drilled and slotted) and he went out of his way to get me what I wanted. The only problem is I can't install them (no fault of his). I have 17" rims on my '99 C70 and asked the service department at my dealer repeatedly what size my front rotors were as many sites say there rotors won't fit certain '98+ models. Specifically, Volvo made some cars with 11" rotors and a few with 11 7/8" rotors. So Frank was nice enough to get me 11 7/8" rotors as per my dealer's advice. When they went to put on the rotors, it turns out my calipers will only accept 11" discs. The upshot is, it would cost me 1100 dollars or so to get the calipers and installation from volvo, or I have to buy new rotors and absorb the loss on the ones I bought. (I would of course try to sell them, but might have difficulty). I was wondering whether anybody knew which models have the 11 7/8" rotors as I have been looking at salvage yards to try to find a wrecked car from which I can grab the calipers. Or if anybody has other suggestions, I am all ears. Thanks.
