Front Brakes on 765T with 165K 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Robert on  Mon May 12 15:45 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Folks,

Here comes the time that the brakes need to be redone. I noticed many of you had good experience with aftermarket products. I'm interested in Power Disk rotors( IPD) and stock (dealer) pads. Last year I installed ATE rotors and Pagid pads. While they worked fine for the price the pads worn out in about 25K miles. Rotors don't look to bad: slight groving and brake pulsation. I went to the dealer today and got the pads hoping I can get away just with them , but I have second thoughts about leaving old rotors in service. My local Volvo rep tells me that I should get Volvo rotors as they would last 4 sets of pads before before needing replacement. ( Volvo engineering) Could that be true? These rotors are expensive $ 120 each.I have a feeling that they will fail with the first set of pads just like the ATE. On the other hand idea of groved disk looks apealing and is 35% less cash up front.. Any thoughts? Please comment...

Thank you in advace
