Default Sam Brake question

If I use a L6 front for my S60r

I end up upgrading later on to a 8 piston.

Can I use that L6 caliper for my rear setup?

Reason why I ask is that I can't afford the 8 piston setup. However saving some cash, and possibly what we talked about.... I wish I could advertise your brakes at the Biggest Volvo meet on the west coast. Which is this coming Sunday, in Davis California hosted by Volvo Club North America (VCNA). Its going to be atleast 200 cars, as its growing every year.

This was last year:

http://www.sacvolvoclub.org/Home/eve...08-past-events

Theres a huge chunk of newer Volvo, just as you probably know VCOA is a bit traditionally focused on older bricks.

I was at our meet today in Half Moon Bay... Check out the pics

One problem, the only ohter BBK maker, Evolve/Gyrodisk was the only BBK Present !! Everyone already knows about this system, but non really know about WP...



What should I do?!?!?!?!? Could you guys get a kit together before this comming Sunday?

In short, not really, because each caliper's piston sizes are different depend on the applications.

let's say the L6 in front is Medium, Medium, Large, but at the rear it's usually small, small, medium, you going to have a messed up brake bias, OR just simply send them back and I'll take the charges off the new kit.

Regards

I just sold my 19" wheels.

I'm still riding the 17" wheels/tires from snow season.

The BBK isn't gonna fit.

If the wife says yes then I'll buy it, the wheels embargo was heavily placed by the wife cause at one point I had to store them in the laundry room and she had a hard time to do the laundry.

I think most Asian Volvo enthusiasts are wheel whores, I had:
19" Cargraphics for the BMW
18" M5 wheels for the BMW
19" M6 for the BMW

16" Geminis for the Volvo
17" Futuras for the Volvo
2 sets of 18" Pegs
19" Maya for the Volvo

I have 3 sets of wheels for the Renault

after the embargo was placed upon, I'd only kept the Geminis for the Volvo and the Maya, and now the BMW rides on the M6 wheels all the time, and the Renault is still sitting in storage.

I know the VST would look kick ass thou, cause I've got the 19"s now on the 740
