I just put Brembos on my s60 and they are great.
I have 336mm factory Brembo pads/rotors and they have no issue bringing my moose to cornering speeds on track.
The Brembo brakes are a joy in the mountains, honestly. They get up to temp fast, just a few corners, and the already-good feel they have just goes to a next level of feedback and precision.
Brembo, funny part its cheap Did the set in my daily Kia including NAO cermaic brake pads. Way better than OE and no dust.
Mk5 R32 OEM rotors and pads - made by Brembo and i believe are powder coated. They are lasting a long time and are very strong to abuse
stick with ATE or akebono. both good for their price. have ran both on my e39 and they work great with their respective rotors
FWIW I wound up with those Brembo front and Zimmerman coated rears with ATE ceramic pads and I’m very happy with it. To me the stock setup is grabby at low speeds and these are much smoother. I don’t feel like I’ve lost any stopping power. Huge difference in brake dust.
Even the parts prices are on a different level, ie brake pads with a Volvo logo on them - 160€, with ATE (they allegedly produce the original pads too) logo - 60€...
Mine are done after 7400km (4900mile). I just replaced the stock tires with Pirelli Corsa 2 and the grip difference over stock is amazing, now need new brake pads. I am leaning toward brembo sintered.
Update: I went with Brembo SR which are the Sintered Racing pads for the front and SP compound for the rear. The remaining pad life on the front was about 10% and 80% for the rear. My fronts were missing pieces of pad.
Man I have civic ep3 I know it's not the same but I did mine for 180 pounds it's like 220buck brembo pads and rotors front and back. I did it myself but dude that sound fucking expensive
