I have a 1992 740 station wagon, non-turbo, automatic and front ABS. I have been told that I need front & rear rotors. I have scoured through messages and still am confused about the use of Volvo original vs aftermarket parts for rotors and pads?

What would be the best thing to do? From FCP Groton, I can get front rotors with girling calipers made by Zimmerman for $34 each and rear brake rotors made by ATE or zimmerman for $20 each. Compared to genuine Volvo rotors for front each at $59 each and rear at $35 each. (also sold by Groton). Is it worth it to spend an additional $85 for genuine Volvo parts. I don't mind spending additional money only if it is really that good. Also what pads and shoes would anuone recommend? Original or aftermarket?

Please help. One hell of a confused volvo owner.

Victor
