Brake rotor and caliper advice needed

Post by jreed »

I'm planning to replace the pads, rotors and calipers on my '97 855 GLT at ~175K miles. Has anybody bought the Volvo OEM rotors (part number 31262092)? If so, did each rotor come with two new caliper bolts? I think the part number of the bolts is 985426. It looks like Tasca has the lowest price I can find at about $56 each but as usual they are very slow to respond to questions and have no pictures or detailed descriptions of the parts they sell.
I'm thinking I'll get rebuilt calipers from Advance Auto... has anybody used them before? I like the looks of them because they include the caliper bracket.
Thanks.
