it may increase braking distance, but a good system won't. and, IMO, in an 'of f*ck' situation...i bet it will stop quicker and you can steer whilst braking.
just my 2 cents

changing the stock calipers with volvo 240 sounds good cause the pad surface area is bigger but , my stock calipers with stock pads i guess has enough power to lock the rotors.
so without enlarging the rotors , will there be a big difference ? the best answer can be given by the buddies who did volvo caliper swap ofcourse.
maybe the abs system of volvo can be applied to the volvo calipers ? after 4 caliper swap. (front and back)

I want ABS on mine aswell!
Apparantly bosch do a retrofit ABS kit to fit older cars, have not found it yet.
I have not started to upgrade my brakes yet. I only want to do it once. Thinking about changing rear drums to discs, volvo girling calipers upfront, and ABS system.
I dont want to buy a thing until i have a complete shopping list of parts
that i know will all fit together.
Is it e30 suspension all round? Understand that means new subframe and arms.
Aaaaaah, what to do
