Okay here's how it goes:
From Newandusedvolvoparts.com:
- New Balo rotors all around for $120
- New brake hoses all around for $90
- PBR Deluxe front pads and Metal Master rear pads $35
From Autozone:
- New Girling front calipers - $80 + core
- New Girling rear calipers - $80 + core

So, roughly $400 for parts. I did not originally know that Metal Masters were available for our cars. Also, parts for the 164 are very hard to find and more expensive. This way, nothing will have to be modified. And using Metal Masters only on the rear SHOULD help increase the rear braking bias... (correct? or do they just have a higher heat capacity, if that is the case, I'll use them in the front as well.)
So what do you guys think???
