I did Brembo rotors with Akebono on the sedan.
They seem very nice. The Brembo rotors were cheap because I bought them from old stock. They are four lug pattern on the '93 850s.
I eventually also replaced these calipers and used Centric, stainless steel braided lines.
I have Centric, drilled/slotted rotors, and the same Akebono ceramic pads ready to go on the Turbo wagon.

Add: TRW pads, I have them on my 850 and they grab amazingly well.
I have the Jurid pads on my S70 and I'm not impressed, not much bite or grab.
We should rate the brands
