I think I have the perfect answer to all your problems. Check out my post in the "For Sale" forum.

why not get a set of used rotors from a wrecked s60R or a s80 or even better an xc90. it'll fit and it's a volvo part. just visit a junk yard/breaker. or try vandsautodismantlers.com for a price on their parts. good luck and keep us posted.
