Brake rotor question 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be dj on  Thu May 17 09:14 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Which brand of brake rotors is better: Brembo or Ate/Bremsen? Or are they the same company? Thanks.

If you haven't bought rotors yet, check out this website http://www.newandusedvolvoparts.com On the opening page they have great sale offers. Currently they offer a front brake pad and rotor package (complete set, 2 rotors and pad set) for $145 USD. It includes Zimmerman cross drilled rotors (German made) and Mintex Pads (English made). I put the front set on two weeks ago and they are great. They also offer the same package for the rear for $115 USD. The prices are far better then IPD.

Just put Brembo Rotors and PBR pads on my 97 850R from a company named IPD in Portland OR. They ship super fast and the whole thing cost me $230. It feels great and no squeel or brake dust...Also dont forget the anti squeel grease they have for like $5 or so. Oh, that included rear pads also..

Better? In what way?..I just got finished changing the fronts on my wife's 850. Zimmerman's $60/pair+$13 shipping from Foreign Car Parts of Groton.

Seem to be just fine. Changed the pads (PBR's) also.. 25 minutes a side.

No noise, great feel

I have Dan Block's on my 850. Stop great but squeals like a frikin Checker Cab

I got Brembo's from alloemvolvoparts.com for 45.00ea and free shipping. Just put them on this morning with PBR Metal Master pads also from the same outfit. I think Brembo's are OEM but I'm not sure.
