240 GL brake job questions

Post by pinhigh1 »

Hi, doing a 4 wheel brake job on a 87 240GL w/148k mi. I plan on pads, rotors and calipers. Any input on what brand/type of pads to use? Rotors? Calipers? Thanks!

Welcome to MVS.
Why are you changing your Calipers? They are usually good for the life of the car if the sliding pins are greased properly at each change. Rotors don't matter so much- buy what's cheap. Stick with Volvo pads.
