I've always used brembo rotors and PBR pads for my '94 non turbo 850 thats pushing 400K miles. Now I see eeuroparts carries bosch rotors and pads at much lower price, plus a nice rebate. Anyone have any experience with bosch brakes? i always use bosch for anything electric they are awesome...but brakes?
thanks

Almost 1/2 price, not bad. But the HAT is not painted and it will look UGLY in a few weeks, rust. Most brakes are make in China because China forced the rest of the world's factory to close.

I still like the Bremco or OEM. OEM comes with 2 new caliper screws with locktite on them.

Klaus,

I did the brakes on my '96 950 GLT wagon (5 speed manual) and only used Volvo parts. The rotors were from China and the pads were from India. Years gone by, they would have been sourced from Europe. I wasn't crazy about using rotors from China, but the Volvo said "Volvo" on it, so what can you do?

last batch of Brembos were made in China...not happy, as they warped in less than a year, and I'm not racing my car at Watkins Glen...switched to german made Zimmerman rotors, and have been happy with them...

thanks - yes, always some gotcha when I try to save a few bucks. I guess i could try and paint the hubs with some high heat grey but thats a whole nother project.
