Discussion in 'Volvo V70' started by Jason Russell, Dec 1, 2006.

  1. Getting delivered tomorrow a front strut brace, and EBC turbo groove discs
    with green stuff pads around.

    Changing the brake hoses and fluid at the same time.

    Will let you know the improvment to cornering and braking in due course!

    Also had a genesis 5 channel amp, JL front deck speakers and JL 3w3 12" sub
    with becker navigation pro high speed head uint fitted - i'm more into
    quality than boom tizzzz!

    Certainly interested if the front strut brace does anything...

  3. Had them all fitted today - first impressions:

    Well, steering is much heavier, and has life in the wheel - where as before
    it was numb.

    Roads where really wet, so not a good time to play on roundabouts - will
    report further.....

    Brakes - need about 500 miles to burn off the coating and bed down, but
    blimey - they start to work under little pressure, and make a nice noise as
    well.....and just work much better!

    Won a set of T5 Alloys on ebay (£99 for 4), so having them refurbished, then
    fitted with new rubber (conti prem contacts) along with new brake hoses and
    fluid change.
