Hi Everyone!

The rear brakes on my 1995 Volvo 850 turbo need to be replaced. My husband just had surgery so we have a friend doing them for us. I need to know where I can get the correct brakes for my vehicle at a reasonable price. I don't want any brakes that are going to squeak but I don't need the top of the line either. I'd really appreciate it if someone out there would give me some help/info on what to buy and where. I have no idea here....... Thank you very much for your time!!! I APPRECIATE IT!!!!

      ..also get some copper grease on the rear of the pads and shims to minimise any vibration/squeaking

        Hi Tek,

        Any suggestions on which brakes would be the best for me? As I mentioned, I don't need anything high performance but want to have good brakes. Thanks!

          FCP is a safe bet for pads and rotors but you may be able to get them in your area as well. Any quality rotor such as Brembo or Zimmermann would be fine and there may be others found locally. If you want to be certain not to squeal or screech then go with OEM pads and grease the back of the pads heavily. The newer pads come with the shims built in, just grease the shim where the piston makes contact. Make sure you break them in properly after you get the car back on the road.

            Thank you, Wally, for all the info!!! I really do appreciate it since I have no idea what I'm buying here and want to buy the best product for the car. My husband always took care of all of this but with him being sick, I can use all the help I can get. Thank you for taking the time to help me out!!! Laurie

              Also get new shims. They are cheap. The arrow points up. Grease the backs of the pads and both sides of the shims. You will be good to go.
