i swapped a wheel for a Lady in distress a couple of months ago and the brakes on her Volvo C70 looked exactly the same and it made me wonder.

Be good to know if they are

Could be. I think they are made by ATE so fair game for other manufacturers.

If they are, you can be sure you'll pick up a used set of those much cheaper than a set of R32's!!!

The XC90 discs are 30mm thick too!  But i dont think they are 345mm, that doesnt really matter tho!

Yes.. they dont appear to have the bracket on the back which accepts the flexi hose

Yeah Focus ST is the same albeit with a 320mm disc, Mazda MPS 3 and MPS 6, Volvo XC90 as stated as well as a couple of other Volvos, Vectra 2.8T VXR, Saab 95's with the big motors in and the list no doubt goes on and on....  :smiley:
