While at AutoZone on a OBDII mission, I priced their front brake pads for my 1997 965.

All over the map! House Brand DuraLast was $24.99. They list a goodly number of choices, lots of Beck & Arnley types. Basic = $41.99. Ceramic = $109.99. Something called OE = $55.99. There were others, even one called Organic.

Money talks, even louder to those who know not the value of the alternative selections. Is Beck&Arnley the OEM maker? Would the $55.99 pads be same as volvo pads? I haven't call dealer for a quote yet, but I will.

The Universal Fit catalytic convertor at $122.99 is a Wells brand. I have never heard of it, have you? Universal means NOT drop-in means MORE work and (maybe) lower quality, to me.

The car is driven by wife.sig, and she's harder on the brakes than I am. Current pads are probably Volvo, as PO had most all things done at dealer.

Any recommendations will be received gratefully.

Thank You,

Bob
