Have a 86 Volvo turbowagon. While having various maintenance performed had new brake pads put on the front and rear. Mechanic told me that the FRONT rotors needed turning/resurfacing, so I was going to take them to a machine shop this weekend but yesterday saw on the internet advertised "NEW 2 Brake Rotors (Front) for Volvo 740 & 760's 85-87". I say: "Hey, that includes me and I probably need new rotors just so that I'll know when the last time I had new rotors." I read further and the rotors are manufactured by "Beck Arnley, Part #083-2587 (2 Brake Rotors (Front) Volvo 740))." Still sounds like me, but I know nothing at all about the quality of Beck Arnley rotors. Anybody had any experience with them? Are they worth the buy ($35.00 plus shipping $24.95) Better than the Zimmerman manufactured ones (I'm reading about them now)? Also, how do I find out if I have ABS or not on this model year? No owner's manual or original invoice.
