Re: Cross Drilled Brakes

["Dave Puterbaugh" <deputer@email.msn.com>]

Yes!  I had them on my 1994 Volvo 850 turbo wagon.  They were noisy, and
shook quite a bit.  It was bad enough that my wife would not drive the car.
Checked for radial runout, etc., and found everything was within spec.  Put
the stock stuff back on and all was fine.
