GermanAutoParts.com has front BREMBO brake pads available for 1986-1989 Scirocco 16V models. Brembo's premium ceramic compound provides increased stopping power and reduced dust combined with quiet, smooth operation. The multi-layer shims minimize noise, vibration and harshness for quiet, smooth performance. Brembo Ceramic pads are an excellent choice if you want to minimize dust and noise while increasing braking performance in general street use.
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
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.
Brakes were excellent. The pedal was rather easy to push down on with little feedback, but the brakes were very powerful feeling, smooth, and the car stopped straight. Modulation was easy to control. I tried a hard stop and did not provoke the ABS system, nice it only comes into play when I need it.
Brake pads were replaced abt 2,000 miles ago, and the rotors; apparently can last till i have to replace the pads again.
switching to a new set of stockers showed me exactly how different the dimensions are. they look the same, but the fit is no where near the correct size for these carriers. the brembo pads bounced around like crazy. its alright i was able to return them but i was hoping to get rid of dust. maybe ill try to get a replacement set and see if they fit any better
