Yeah mostly there is no advantage other than you can buy a set of these at the corner parts house pretty cheap and rebuild kits are easy to get.

Same goes for the Outlaw M16 caliper the piston area is the same as the stock caliper. But the Outlaw is only 3 pounds or less.

The Toyota caliper might be a better choice for more piston area.

I had heard for several years of the Volvo caliper being used had never seen it done or even heard how it was done. Did not know the piston area was the same until I got the junk yard calipers home and measured. With the plumbing issue and the piston area being no larger I would not suggest anyone use the Volvo caliper.
