I have a 1994 850 turbo sport wagon (bone stock) that is in need of a brake job. Since the brakes need tobe replaced anyhow, it seems like a good time to upgrade them.

I'd like to hear suggestions on upgrades and parts sources for the recommendations if you guys don't mind.

Thanks,

Chuck

I buy Brembo rotors from FCPGroton. $43 each for front. You can use slotted but pay more. I always used OEM pads. Make sure you bleed with fresh DOT4 brake fluid. My brakes work real good.

Some folks do other stuff: race calipers special pads etc. You might wait for their comments.

Since the 850 has a tendancy to go through brake pad and rotors relatively often, I am content using the cheap stuff. Zimmerman rotors and PBR pads. Works very well out of the box, and I don't cry if I have to replace either within 18 months.
