Rotors and pads---need help (kinda long) C70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike H. on  Sat Apr 7 12:07 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi folks,

Well, it's time for me to change brake pads again soon (they are on 30% now). I've asked in a previous thread about the pads and recommendations were PBR pads from IPD. Should I use the metallics or the deluxes? ALso, is there a place where I can get them cheaper? Furthermore, my dealer told me that my front rotors were undersized (that's what it says on the printout) and that I need to change them. First of all, I didn't know that rotors can be undersized. Do I need to change them or can I just resurface them or something? Also, are the slotted rotors from IPD any good (since I heard they are more prone to warping. I need to know cuz I drive and brake hard!). How much do stock rotors cost? IPD sells the Brembo ones for 72.00 but Volvoparts.com sells them for 57.00. Are these the same rotors. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance.

Mike H.
