Hi guys,

Does any of you know who manufactures genuine Volvo front rotors for 740's? Is it ATE? I've got Bendix calipers with ABS and 10 1/4" front discs on my 740.

Are ATE Power Disc really worth it? I'm hearing comments like performance advantage is only noticeable under extreme conditions, eg. driving on the race tracks or going downhill with a trailer. In normal street driving there's hardly, if any, noticeable difference. Is that true?

Also I ended up buying a pair of Sachs Nivomat rear shocks locally, only cost me AU$275 each (US$175). I know that Nivo's have lighter springs than conventional shocks. Since the Nivo shocks set the ride height instead of the springs on Nivo equipped cars, am I safe to install used springs from an old 760 in the wreckers? Or is there any reason I should still buy a set of new springs for the rear?
