Volvo uses ATE, Textar brake pads, Zimmerman, Brembo, ATE rotors. i've been using these volvos for years and have had no problems.
I went to Stoptech Street pads at 35k miles on the fronts only, took care of the issue after a few bed-in runs. Still no shudder at 75k and original rotors
Personally very much like ATE ceramic pads.
Grimmspeed MCB, STOPTECH Sport package (pads, rotors, lines) and the GR86 Shock/Strut retrofit.
OEM brake pads from Audi are mostly good for day to day braking, and some sporty, but not daily very aggressive driving. But they do a lot of dust and noise sometimes. I found the solution to be just change the pads for "ATE Ceramic" if you don't use your car to do track days and very frequent sporty driving. These don't have ceramic components, it's mostly marketing, but they do have two good characteristics from Ceramic pads, mostly zero noise when heated and almost zero dust! And the low dust it produces, it's not black. Breaking power it's maybe a little better coming from OEM, but nothing crazy. Do not use sport discs with ATE Ceramic, the brand actually advises to use normal discs with these.
Habe schon alle Marken durch von Brembo bis zu Zimmermann.... Nur ATE hats drauf, werde nur noch deren Bremsen kaufen.
ATE und Schluss aus. Damit hatte ich immer top Qualität und nie Probleme.
I have stoptech "performance brake pads" on my front and rear. Feels like OEM but more dusty
I use Ate pads on mine, they feel great and have lasted fairly well but dust like CRAZY.
Stop tech pads have a lot of brake dust. I had them and hated them. I went with the power stop pads low dust on all four and powerstop drill and slotted rotors up front. I already had stop tech slotted in the rear.
