v70 AWD rear calipers are the same.. there is no " performace" caliper that ill bolt right in place..

paint up your OEM ones if they are still working well, and get some ceramic pads (again v70 AWD) and slotted rotors, and you'll probably never have to look at it again intill you spend some time on a track.

1 more thing.. also invest in a steel wire brush for a drill, that'll help you clean up the caliper before paint.. you'll thank me for this one when it takes you 5 mins a caliper!

good luck to you
