FCP Euro Kits

Volvo's P3 chassis has quickly become one of the most comfortable, safe, and easy to own vehicles in the Euro-luxury marketplace. With an outstanding warranty, low total cost of ownership, and powertrains ranging from 240-345hp, Volvo sells a versatile vehicle that is one of the smartest sedan purchases around.

Although targeted at the mainstream market with the T5, the S60 is a sports car in T6 AWD or Polestar guise. Now that these vehicles have a few years under their belt, DIY'ers can quell their repair-itch with a wide selection of genuine and aftermarket parts filtering into the marketplace, no matter what their powertrain choice may be.

R-Design Mirror Caps

FCP Euro now stocks R-Design mirror caps for the P3 platform. This includes:

  • S80 (07-)
  • V70 (08-)
  • S60 (11-)

These brushed silver-look caps give the S60 the premium look that Audi has brought to the S4 for years. If you're wanting the aesthetics of the R-Design on a model with a more economical powertrain choice like the T5, adding brushed silver mirror caps is a great way to spruce up the exterior.

Brake Kits

A few years ago, out-of-warranty S60 owners didn't have many options if they were tearing through brake pads and rotors. It was Genuine Volvo, or bust. Now, FCP's product team has assembled a range of kits from Bosch, Akebono, Zimmermann, and Meyle to suit different budgets and driving styles. For a low-dust option, I recommend Akebono Euro Ceramic Pads with Genuine or Zimmermann rotors.

Suspension Kits

It's pretty impressive that a front-end rebuild can be done for under $500 on a vehicle of this caliber, further reinforcing the fact that these are among the lowest cost to own European luxury sedans on the market. Working on Volvos is a treat due to the well-built components and beefy hardware used to fasten it all together. When the time comes, doing it all at once with a suspension kit from Meyle, Lemförder, or Genuine Volvo takes care of everything and affords peace of mind in the future.
