That is ridiculous.

Call us directly tomorrow. FCP Groton at 1-877-634-0063.

We will get this for even though it may not be on the website. And will be MUCH happier with the price even after the shipping.

EDIT: You are in VA, we're in CT. You will get them quickly too. Give us a go.

The 95 rotors are a touch larger in diameter and are directionally vented.

If you call FCP Groton pm me what they qoute you for future refrence as I also have a 95'. I can tell you from first hand experince that FPC gets quality parts, I have done ALOT of buissiness through them on ebay. They ship super quick and always have great QUALITY parts that are very price competitive with other sites that sell crap. I also like the fact that I can drive to them if I'm in need of a part asap, but they are a very good outlet. My A++ vote for FCP hands down.

Hi, do you work at FCP Groton?
I saw the website a few days ago.
On the website you have great deals on suspension parts!
I'm in need for some special suspension parts.
Do you know how much the charge for international shipping is?
Thanks

Vented rotors have either radial vanes or directional vanes

To tell the difference, just look down at the vanes and compare the new one to the edge of the old one. I've never seen a rotor with directional vanes for $65. The setup (for making them) and stocking (for housing them) costs for rotors with directional vanes is twice as much as for one with radial vanes.

On the up side, directional vanes run cooler.

i have purchased many items for the volvo from fcp groton, they are great to deal with. you just have to make sure you decide if you want oem or third-party oem products. for example, some (not all) scantech parts for volvos don't seem to last quite as long.
