Thank alot! This article is very interesting and understandable, but unfortunately not about an Estate version. Drivetrain-components on the 2drs or 4drs versions are different so the used P1800 axle will probably not fit the Estate that easily....

About the poor performance: I'm aware that most of the braking appears on the front brakes. Nevertheless the rear drums are heating up pretty much while using the car for rally-driving and taking it for a high performance drive... When discs are mounted on the rear axle this might be solved because of the better coolingbehavior of the discs themselves and the possibility (when using late P1800 stuff) to fit alloy wheels of the 200 series that allow air to flow over the brake components.

In addition to this: does anyone have experience in changing the Amazon wheelbolts' configuration to 200 series specifications? Is this possible? I'm not that fond of using not-Volvo accessoiries and might consider to change rims with better colling possibilities like the ones on the 240 turbo.

Thanks again! Looking forward to your reactions!

Leon
