rear brake rotors 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Todd on  Sat Feb 14 09:57 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Does anyone have a preference on the brand of rear brake rotors to install ? I've seen OEM listed as Brembo or Zimmerman. Any difference or should I just shop price on these two brands. What about slotted on the rear. Is is really necessary?

Also, I'd like to say thanks to those of you that have responded to my latest messages regarding brakes and other related items. You can imagine my wife's response when I told her that I saved $300 in labor at the dealer by installing a front engine mount myself with the help of the "bay 13" guy. She was more than a little excited for me. Life is good when your wife gets excited about an engine mount.

Another question. I have an oil leak in my turbo oil return hose. It looks like the leak is coming from the hose itself and not the fitting into the engine or from the turbo. Is this repair realistic to do myself without a lift? How much will it set me back if I take it to the dealer?

Thanks,
Todd
