Re: rotor change 200 85

Inspect state of seals of calipers to assess future need for rebuild caliper (if seals are torn or punctured but calipers still ok for us)

Degrease new rotor and pads prior to installation with brake part cleaner

"Coppergrease" as much as you can without risking contamination of the rotor/pad. Will prevent rust/sieze and makes it easier to remove parts later.

Finally I found that using volvo brake pads, although three times the price, do give far better braking results with a lot lighter pedal pressure required. But you already have the parts....

Reg,
