It is time for new rotors for my 96 850 R, and I am thinking of purchasing the Brembo Cross Drilled rotors,
 however I have no clue where to buy them at.

 Ideas?

 IPD carries them I think

 I can get crossdrilled and slotted Brembo rotors for you. I am reviewing them for Volvospeed as we speak.
 With shipping cost is something like 250 for a full set.

 had zimmerman cross drilled rotors on a prior 850 turbo wagon and the noise from the cross drilling was
 pretty irritating...sounded like a weedwacker off in the distance every time you hit the brakes. not a brake
 squeal but rather a slight wooshing sound that bugged me every time i had the windows open. had a 930
 w/ cross drilled that didn't make that noise but the 850 sure did ;(

 i wd avoid cross-drilled rotors. in fact i wd avoid Brembos at the Fr. here's the recent (in fact, present!)
 experience of a buddy of mine with 855T5A. 1st brembo (280mm, not drilled or slotted) Fr rotors lasted
 some 3 weeks, then they warped. he complained and got (same type) replacement Brembos again, this
 time, he was told not to fit the "balancing pin" cos they already come factory balanced. lasted 2 mths i think
 before they warped too.
 another friend used brembos too, cross-drilled - this is 2 yrs back - and he auto-x on them. one of them
 shattered on the track! that said he already saw hairline cracks earlier but ignored them. he then went for
 replacmeent brembo big brake kit 320mm - guess what? warped that too!
 alright, mebbe the above is not quite a fair assessment, but if you in my shoes and you heard/saw first
 hand accounts, my guess is you wouldnt want to take chances either.
 stick with OEM (rotors n pads) at the Fronts. you can use whatever other brands at Rr cos they're not so
 sensitive at the back.

 Is it $250 for cross drilled and slotted alike?

 I was thinking about trying some slotted rotors.

 How can I get in on this?

 They are drilled and slotted. I can look for a source for just slotted if you want. Let me know. You know me. I
 am always looking for new discounts.

 IPD no longer list cross-drilled Brembo as available on their
 web site. A while back the web site mentioned the cross-drilled
 had problems with warping for street use. They now seem to
 be recommending the slotted rotors, instead.

 You might contact IPD and ask their opinion for more details.

 >By the way, if you want a pair of those ATE grooved rotors, you can get them from
 http://www.alloemvolvoparts.com/ for $44.77 each, and they offer free shipping for orders over $50. In
 comparison, gapa.com has them for $62.56 and IPD has them for $65.90.

 That is what I copied from Swedepseed, one of the member there, Michael , found this connection for
 these cheap rotors.

 That would be great. Thanks again.

 Just checked it out. It doesn't say they are slotted. They say they are OE replacements.

 They have links to the products: Front, 280mm (11") O.D. Rear. Then they show you Brembo and
 Zimmerman.

 Are they slotted?

 Email them and ask if you dont' want to call. I might give them a call later. I believe most of the ATE rotors
 are slotted.....

 Which brand of brake rotors is better: Brembo or Ate/Bremsen? Or are they the same company? Thanks.

 Better? In what way?..I just got finished changing the fronts on my wife's 850. Zimmerman's $60/pair+$13
 shipping from Foreign Car Parts of Groton.
 Seem to be just fine. Changed the pads (PBR's) also.. 25 minutes a side.
 No noise, great feel
 I have Dan Block's on my 850. Stop great but squeals like a frikin Checker Cab

 I got Brembo's from alloemvolvoparts.com for 45.00ea and free shipping. Just put them on this morning
 with PBR Metal Master pads also from the same outfit. I think Brembo's are OEM but I'm not sure.

 Just put Brembo Rotors and PBR pads on my 97 850R from a company named IPD in Portland OR. They
 ship super fast and the whole thing cost me $230. It feels great and no squeel or brake dust...Also dont
 forget the anti squeel grease they have for like $5 or so.

 If you haven't bought rotors yet, check out this website http://www.newandusedvolvoparts.com On the
 opening page they have great sale offers. Currently they offer a front brake pad and rotor package
 (complete set, 2 rotors and pad set) for $145 USD. It includes Zimmerman cross drilled rotors (German
 made) and Mintex Pads (English made). I put the front set on two weeks ago and they are great. They also
 offer the same package for the rear for $115 USD. The prices are far better then IPD.
