[DeTomaso] Volvo 240 Caliper/Brembo bolt-on upgrade

[Thomas Borcich]

FYI...all the posts on the Volvo 240 brake calipers led me to find a page that shows an upgrade from the 240 caliper directly to the VR70R caliper which is a Brembo caliper (requiring an adapter which can be purchased) with 13" rotors....NEW Brembo calipers $200+/-(without core add $40), rotors $105, pads for $60...plus the pads will be around for quite some time because they fit a Volvo VR70R.

Scroll down the page and there are some very good pictures and descriptions of this brake swap. The project actually looks quite doable and simple.
