My braking system is in need of replacement as I'm getting lots of brake shudder, pulling to one side, and lots of noises while braking with lousy stopping ability (Master Cylinder is brand new). My calipers are also pretty rusty so going to have to address that as well. I'm looking to replace all 4 rotors and pads with something that yields better braking ability and/or a little more performance oriented. The 240 system is pretty damn good so no S60R big brake conversion and the car isn't used for auto-cross but was thinking of slotted/vented ATE rotors with PBR metal master pads. This is for my '92 244 with ABS. I was thinking of Zimmerman Cross-drilled (for looks too) but heard that they can crack. Any current experiences with rotor/pad combo's greatly appreciated. Are the stainless lines worth the investment for daily city/highway driving?

Best,
Adam
