The disc should not even fit in the caliper bracket.
Are your sure it's even a rear disc? Sounds like you got 285mm front disc or Volvo P3 2008-> vent. rear disc.

It has the p-brake drum.
You seem well versed with P2s - are Volvo shoes the only ones that work on this platform?! The factory parking brake shoes on our 04 V70 grabbed very well, but were starting to delaminate so I replaced them to avoid what happened to OP. I used LPR 08260 that were made in Italy and ECE 90R rated so I thought they'd be fine, but they barely grab compared to the factory shoes. I tried adjusting the nut under the handbrake but all that did was make it harder to engage the parking brake.
Beats me then, mystery discs Any numbers ?
XC90 rear are 308, R brakes 330.
288 ventilated no clue.
1359908 Old 940 287 front discs looks like rears. Little bit far fetched maybe.
I have tried other brands - and been very disappointed with their "grab". I only use Volvo brake shoes on the Volvos now.
Zoom in on my picture, and you'll see that they are Volvo shoes.
If you're not getting the "grab" that you think you should, ensure that the inside of the rotor where the shoes make contact is clean and rust-free, that the expanders move freely, and that the brake is adjusted properly. The expanders can get pretty rusty - so, if they don't move freely, get a new set.
I am not sure that is a rear disc - any chance you could upload some photos?
Got it.

It fits various Subaru products.
The counterman was so helpful, it didn't ocurr to me that he'd either mess up or the wrong parts would be shipped.

Thanks for the input. I replaced the rotors with Zimmermanns at the same time and cleaned everything so I think the issue is isolated to the shoe pad material. What is it about Volvo parts where sometimes only genuine stuff work?
I noticed that XC90 shoes have a "relief" cut in the center of the pad material - possibly to allow for more overall contact?
I didn’t even know that adjuster was available. Thanks!
My Toyotas, even Fords and Oldsmobile, had a similar adjuster.
I got the adjuster kit.
My long lasting Volvo brakes have just about half their life left in 'em.
That the p-brake decided to grenade with just a touch of application is something I'll never fathom.
A local mechanic told me they might have the option to remove all the broken junk and be done with it.
I asked if a parking brake was legally required and he said no.

Delaminating shoes seems somewhat common on this application - fortunately you don't have AWD as I've heard it can destroy the rear axles
