I have a Stock 1996 Volvo 850 glt and want make it more fun and faster! Thinking of upgrading the engine to handle a turbo or engine swap to a t-5 where's the best place to shop for my Volvo in the U.S?
i dont know why yall are discussing brake systems on the 850, but both the 850 and s70 have drum brakes. however- they are ONLY used for the parking brake function. they are inside the disc housing. if you dont believe me- take off your rear disc- there are shoes in there... very rarely does a car company ever make only a few hundred of anything. im sure theres a couple thousand t5-r's in the US. which still makes it very rare. btw- nice car. brembo package had to cost an arm though.
the 850s have a drum and disc brake system on the back, discs are to slow car as normal using the ffot pedal and drum brake system is for holding the car still while parked using the handbrake, if anyone says the 850 doesnt have drum brake then they need to buy an 850 and find out,gobshites
My Volvo 850 T-5R cruising on the freeway... No, I didn't actually race the Suburban, hell, I didn't even know who they were. I just thought it looked funny in the background while we were getting some footage of my car
I have a 95 t5r. That front bumper isn't stock? If so where can I get it the previous owner beat it up pretty good.

@Angel92Cheeks A really good online suplier in the U.S. is IPD. try going to ipdusa.com They have a great selection of parts, especially for the 850.

@bharvey2010 fcpgroton is considerably cheaper than iPD for Volvo parts - though you can't get everything you can from iPD...

@looncraz A very good point. I should have mentioned IPD's price haha. Just came to mind as a "legit" OEM supplier

@redbaronmulisha The parking break is basically a drum brake but to say the 850's rear brakes are drum brakes is incorrect.

@dergangedchipmunk a few hundred T-5Rs... it's the homologation for BTCC races - very rare. 850s in general are not rare of course...
