Howdy. I did a search for "320 rotors" and came up with nothing related to my question, so if this question has been beaten to death, blame it on diminished brain function at the end of the day.

I recently picked up a 2011 C30 and it needs brakes badly. I'm looking on RockAuto and they list the 278mm rotor on my car as interchanging with the '05-11 V50. I also see that the '05-11 range covers the AWD V50, which apparently came with 320mm rotors. My local Pick-n-Pull has an AWD V50. What would I need off that V50 that would allow me to put the bigger rotors on my C30?

Any input appreciated, even if it's just pointing me to a thread I missed.

 

not 100% sure about the V50 vs C30 in terms of swapping parts, but on other models like the early V70s/S60s you could swap out the caliper carriers to fit the larger rotors. So you may want to try grabbing the calipers with the carrier and the used rotor off the V50 to see if they fit your car's hub. Just make sure they have a return policy.

 

Just curious... is "My local Pick-n-Pull" an actual yard where you are...or just an expression you use to describe a yard? I thought "yards" were gone forever...only remnants still around on ebay...but I really miss those places where you could bargain for parts...in SoCal...where I am...I think they're gone for ever...but maybe I'm wrong?

 

I measured the rotors on the AWD V50 and they're 300mm. I was doing a bunch of searching a few days ago and don't recall where I saw this, but I definitely remember reading somewhere that the AWD V50 had 320mm rotors. And when pricing brake rotors, there is a listing for 300 or 320, so I just assumed the 300 was the base V50 and the 320 was AWD. Maybe the 320 was part of an option package or something?
Anyway, didn't get the score I thought I was getting. Oh well.

I suspect they are all gone in SoCal. If you're ever up north though....
