Quality 960 Brake Slider Pins?? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be 960 Bricskter on  Sat Oct 23 06:48 CST 2010 [RELATED]

I have a 95 960 Sedan, and I plan to replace the caliper slider pins. The rust on the existing ones has been brushed off and they still bind a bit.

Is there a difference in quality between Volvo and OEM here? The new Volvo ones seem to have a teflon coating, while the original Volvo ones I have are steel. I saw a set of after market ones that were brassish/copper in colour, not sure what metal they are.

I hear the Volvo teflon coated ones break down quickly as the coating comes off. I want to avoid known problems and soft metals in favour of a better choice.

Is there a preferred brand, kind of metal, or type that is better? Appreciate the tips here.
