1984 240 Brake Questions 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Scotty B on  Wed May 25 10:21 CST 2016 [RELATED]

I have an '84 242 project car that needs pads and rotors. The calipers and lines look original and the master cylinder is of unknown age/mileage, so my thought is to rebuild the entire system.

I am a little wary of aftermarket parts but the OE stuff is expensive. For example, FCP Euro carries an ATE master cylinder for this car for $211. They also carry a Cardone MC for well under $100. My inclination is to spring for the OE part but these days it is hard to know whether the OEM/Volvo branded stuff is "real Volvo" or just repackaged aftermarket.

I am also inclined to go ATE for the calipers, but wondered if you guys had suggestions for rotors and pads that might improve performance over the stock setup.

Thanks!
