Volvo RWD 200 Forum

I've been pricing rotors for my 88 244DL and have come up with pricing from $32 up to $60+.

SwedishAutoParts seems to have the best price on rotors, but I'm a little skeptical at how they will hold up. I also don't know what brand they are.

Some companies have cheap rotors too but they are beck arnley, wagner or raybestos. I don't remember having luck in the past with these brands on other makes of vehicles.

What do you folks think about the situation? Would rather not spend $120 for two front rotors and then still have to do the back.

Thank you in advance

For what it is worth, I was pleased with the set of Mexican-made Brembos that I bought, such that I recently bought another set for another of my cars. The vendors don't tell you which Brembos are from Italy and which are from Mexico, but the price makes it obvious. I presume that they make them to fit bricks, but I don't know who sells them. So far, I have only purchased them for a BMW and I am getting mine from a BMW-only parts house (Bimmerzone)

I bought ATE from eeuroparts.com and was satisfied $37.90 for the rear ones

Brembo, Balo and ATE all make excellent quality rotors for 240s. Don't fall for the PBR ones just because PBR pads are popular for Volvos. The PBR rotors I've seen are just generic Chinese units in a PBR box.

The only bargain rotors I've seen that are pretty good are by Centric.

Also, Beck-Arnley's Premium line of brake parts are normally pretty good, but I would stay away from their "Standard" ones.

advance Auto parts $29.95.

I bought these about 60K miles ago. They seem fine
