raynman Occasional Poster Location: Victoria Registered: August 2002	Re: PLEASE help me with my brake upgrade (ae86) Sat, 02 November 2002 13:59 My brother runs volvo 4 spots on his TE35 with RA60 struts and discs. He does have clearance issues with the wheels (he is running a thin spacer) but he is using 14" standard rims. He did have to use custom mounts. The thing pulls up brilliantly. As far as unsprung weight goes, yes they are fairly heavy, but I also think the added increase in unsprung weight is more than made up by the increase in braking ability. IMO I think in some ways unsprung weight is overrated. Yes keep it to a minimum, but sometimes compromises need to be made for increased performance (bigger brakes, stronger struts, bigger diffs etc) Volvos (there are several varieties of 4 spot) can be made to fit under 14" rims. The S4 RX7 fit better under 15"s. The hilux's sound pretty good, particularly as the others need custom mounts. [Report message to a moderator]
