Brakee pads and Rotors 200 1984

I need a little help from all of you. As you can see I have an '84 Turbo Coupe. I also drive an 03 Nissan 350Z and occasionally my husband's 02 Nissan Maxima SE. I am using the Volvo as mainly a highway pig (weekends), but a city driver (no more than 15 miles per day) during the weeks. I recently switched my OEM Nissan pads on my 350Z to Hawk HPS pads, and left the rotors stock, and I like the feel they give me.

I am looking for a good combination pads/rotor set up. I replaced my first set of pads and rotors after 100k miles. And almost immediately the new pads and rotors didn't like me. I have severe warpage and am looking to replace both components. I understand I won't get the feel I do from the newer Nissans, but I need something to bite when traffic comes to a hault on the highway that won't glaze over when I hit them. By the way, brake dust is of NO concern.

Off the top of my head I don't if I have ATE or Girling calipers. I am looking at going with PBR's, but have no experience with them. Any of your help is greatly appreciated!!

Jenn
