Re: 2007 S60 2.5T AWD; replacing brake pads/rotors

Finished the brake job; very simple job. A few quick tips: use a lift if you can, otherwise it's tough on your back bending over. take a picture of the caliper springs so you install them on correctly. Every repair site, including some other forums stated that the bolts that hold the caliper carrier...

'07 S60 2.5T, passenger side front window always squeaks goi

I should have had the dealer check it out before warranty expired, but it has. Every time that I lower the window, it sqeaks and has started hanging up a bit on the way down. Almost like it is too tight of a gap. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Re: '07 S60 - Advice for Replacing Brakes

I plan on following the fcpeuro youtube posting for my brake job; anything he missed?

Re: 2007 S60 2.5T AWD; replacing brake pads/rotors

I'm going with the ceramicss; the folks over at fcpeuro have highly recommended the Akebono, and I did the research on several ceramic replacements. I will let you know how they peform.

BTW, do you do your own oil changes as well?

Re: 2007 S60 2.5T AWD; replacing brake pads/rotors

Copy all, so I will stick with the 11" rotors.

Are you telling me there isn't a big difference in quality if I buy the best AutoZone/Oreilly's has to offer versus Brembo versus OE?

Did you go with ceramic pads, and did they help with the brake dust?

Thanks for the quick reply.

2007 S60 2.5T AWD; replacing brake pads/rotors

I am planning on changing my pads and rotors to get rid of the brake dust (will use Akebono ceramic). I have 45K miles on the car, and haven't had any brake problems, just brake dust. Question I can't find an answer to: what size are the rotors I should get? I measured them and they measure 11.05 in...
