►Big brake upgrades on the Volvo P3 chassis don’t have to be astronomically expensive or difficult to source. If you’re looking to upgrade to bigger brakes on a budget or just want to stick with OEM Volvo components, you’re in luck.
We offer two kits to upgrade the front brakes of your Volvo P3 from 300mm to 336mm. The first kit linked below includes all the hardware you need, minus the calipers and caliper brackets. If you have access to your own donor car, as Adam Goral did in this video, you can save a large sum of money. If you don’t have access to a donor car, you’re in luck as you can buy the calipers and caliper brackets brand new in the second kit linked below.
If you are looking to upgrade to this 336mm Volvo big brake kit, know that you must have 18″ wheels or larger. Anything less and your wheels will not clear these new, larger calipers.

Can, I do the same thing to my p3 2010 xc70 3.2 with the 16" rims. I have 316mm rotors. Just did the front 3 months ago. All new pads and rotors, I quess I am a little demanding on my brakes. After the break on time, great. Now with my normal style, they pulsate like crazy. Not using autozone parts. What do you think
Excellent video. I just got myself a 2013 XC60 R-Design, wondering if my P2 XC90 2.5T would be a good donor car for those front brakes (wrecked and breaking for parts). Please let me know!
Could you do a P3 S60 rear brake upgrade. Maybe going through what Volvo P2 or P3 donor brakes could work. Would P2 S60r rear brakes fit the P3 S60.
I just bought a 2010 S80 V8 AWD. What do you Volvo guys do for upgrading the brakes on that model?
Appreciate this video FCP Euro! I have a 2017 V60 R-Design and would love to do this upgrade. Could you post a list of the donor car and model years to pickup the 336mm calipers & brackets? I see the only kits available at FCP require you have your own calipers. Thanks!
So does this work for Volvo S80 D5 2007 ?
You can also use the brakes from the XC60. Although the discs are slightly smaller (328mm), the caliper has two pistons instead of only one in the XC90/S80 caliper.
Can you do a big brake kit for the P1 chassis
You had to size up on the caliper hanger too, right?
Awesome video !
