Replacing Rotors

Hi Guys,

It's time to replace the front and rear rotors on my S600 '03 and I was wondering what you used/recommend.

I see a lot of different things out there from plain surface, to slotted and drilled. Some brand I am familiar with like Brembo and Power Slot but others are alien.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

rotors, take your pick, I'm not picky, they all work fine. Pads, get akebono. Zero dust and good as OEM.

Agree with Jnash. I have Zimmerman rotors but my Indy decided on them not me. I have no complaints. He also highly recommended the Akebono pads which are great.

Just bought OEM rotors, with a discount at the local dealer, they were reasonably priced. Front & rear. Went with Akebono pads as I've got them on both Volvos and the 300E and they've been great. I've not installed them yet...but will do that next week...parts first....
