almost time for brakes....advice? 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris Boultinghouse on  Sun Apr 1 04:39 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi group,

It's almost time to do brakes on my 97 854 R. The front rotors are shot (just thin, not warped), and I really don't know if I should go back OEM, or try aftermarket. I want to avoid sqealing brakes! I've seen lots of posts on the board that imply anything other than OEM is going to sqeal. True? False?

Rotors: Read the recent posts about Zimmerman rotors. Good? Bad? What about the Powerslots offered by iPD?

Brake lines: Would you recommend installing new stainless lines while I'm doing the brakes?

Any hints or advice would be appreciated!
