need new rotors, options?? 850 1994

My front rotors have a slight warp, and are too thin to turn. The rears are just about done as well. I've looked into performance parts, but I'm confused. I'm planing on many upgrades, chip, exhaust,sway bars, ect. What is the best way to go? Slotted? Cross drilled? Both? I would like to up grade to "big brakes" but I still need to run my 15" winter wheels as well as my 16" turbo mags. I do drive all year round and I see alot of snow. Would that effect my options? Do I neen special pads as well? Are there many choices? What do you have, and are you happy? Any canadian options?
thanks Geofff 94 855 t5

FPCGroton.com Zimmerman drilled rotors and a set of PBR dustless pads (2nd set of them they work nice and very little dust!) Anyway $150 US Shipped. I followed the Volvospeed directions and all went well.

definetly go slotted and cross-drilled, i got mine from brembo. If you look at volvospeed.com you should get a discount, all 4 for $250.

as far as the big brake upgrade goes, easternaerospace.com and eurosporttuning.com, the cost is around $2500 and u need minimum 17" rims, so think about it,

as far as braking goes, the new performance rotors with stock pads will give u a definete advancement in your braking.

good luck

First, you never turn rotors, never.... That is just a way of accelerating replacing them. If they are warped, they are too thin. Just replace them. Look at the geometry of the rotors, and it will make itself self evident.
I did New rotors, pads, brake lines and greased all components, bled lines. Cost about $ 135.. Did Zimmermans, OEM pads, new lines, and so on. easy, about 2 hours. Car feels solid...
