This is my first message guys and I'm glad I finally got hooked up.

This past weekend I had my 97 850 GLT in the shop for a brake job. Reading the prior posts helped me immensely, but I wanted to run this past you to get some feedback on how things worked out.

This was the first time I've had ANY work done on the brakes since I bought the car in May 1997. The car has been a gem to me, love it. What got me in the shop was the right rear caliper sticking and a squeaking sound from the front discs. I really wanted to tackle it myself, but I backed out at the last minute.

Anyways, the mechaic used Wagner pads and rotors all around, a Beck Arnley rear caliper and bled the system for $480. What do you think of Wagner parts ?? Are they up there with PBR and Bendix ?? Are they at OEM quality ?

Plus I'm getting a slight ticking sound from the right front. Is this just the break in period ?? Thanks, Pete
