I will use aftermarket brake rotors unless...

I've had good luck with aftermarket rotors, never even occurred to me to go to the dealer for something like that.

I put aftermarket drilled and slotted rotors and racing brake pads on front wheels on my -99 S80 2,9. Half the price of original + much more efficient brakes. Have had them for a year (~35000kms) without problems.

Just use Volvo pads to lessen the chance of brake noise

Jeff, check out FCP Groton. They have genuine Volvo rotors for $59.00 ea and Zimmerman's (very good experience with these rotors) for $30.00. They have other choices as well.

I replaced all my rotors (brake discs) with aftermarket parts. Torqued my lugnuts (wheel nuts) as per value stamped on bearing caps. They are still going well. I used Mintex pads and handbrake shoes and they stop the car very quickly and under full control with no signs of tendency to warp. Mine worked out at £85 ($130) for all four rotors. Be careful to get the right items as there are some differences in fronts in particular.

Cheers, Peter.
