I can tell the pads are fairly recent and are Jurid brand so I know they've been replaced recently.
I trust companies like Brembo or mintex to make decent, quality parts more than I trust Volvo to supply some. Volvo themselves don't make brake components. On my 240 for example the front brakes are Girling and the rears are ATE.
I had a set of 4 pots on my GLI and I must say the stopping power on the 4 pot Brembo>Stock.
Stock brakes are just ok. I'll be fixing the issue in the aftermarket world. Brembo package probably fixes this issue, but mine was used and didn't come with that option.
Brembo's
You will need good 9.4" vented rotors & good pads like Ferodo, Pagid or Jurid.
It's a very noticeable difference when compared to the stock 10.1" (on my 99 4-door that is). You add a little bit more weight up front, but it's worth it since you get much better stopping power. I will never go back to the stock brakes, I love my G60 brakes
The rear brakes are a rotor and pad upgrade with the calipers matched to the front by Brembo in Brembo Blue.
So what pads are you using with the Brembos? Was it $320 for four discs?
In hindsight, however, I do drive 15 miles up/down/through a mountain pass 5 days a week. That’s gotta be the culprit!
