Brands of brakes

Post by vglenn1979 »

We just bought a 01 v70 t5. We are in the process of giving it some love and on the list is to replace the brake pads/rotors. Can you guys give me some name of brands we should look at. Are wagner thermoquiet any good ?

I put Zimmerman solid rotors and Akebono pads on. Seem to work fine. Need to do the rears someday too, they're warped.

That's a decent combination and works OK (well) with Volvos
