VT Conversion would be better. New calipers, Slotted Rotors, Good pads, hubs, bearings, braided lines with ADR Certification, combined with a 1" Turbo/V8 master cylinder, you should be braking in no time.

Yeah, but volvo calipers are four spots. And not too expensive too, if you can get the machining done.

I got them on my Vl with Ferrodo brake pads (throw out heaps of dust) but there a good pad. But the brakes are really good, i mean there really isn't a need to go any bigger unless ur into circuit racing or something. I havn't got slotted rotors but problery will once mine are worn out. By the way if you still have a 14inch spare wheel in your boot i reconmend u buy a 15 inch chaser as with VT brakes u can't get a 14 wheel over the frount, so if u get a flat ur going to be in a bit of trouble.
