Brake pads Brembo or OEM Volvo
Brembo brakes, they look awesome and feel so much better than the wimpy brakes my BRZ had.
I got GT PP brembo brakes from shelby for ~500 dollars, including shipping. New front pads and rotors on them too.
Brembo or Better Bosch for reliability for more dustless brakes.
I’m running Wagner oe+ on the rear = 160
Brembo pads = 60
Oem on the front 160 each on prl
Hawks 150
Did it all myself so roughly 700 and it feels better than it was before
Pair of brembo replacements is 200ish pads hawks like 80 rears just use centric rotors and hawk pads it should be under 600 to do all 4 yourself this car is pretty easy to do.
I went with Brembo OE ceramic pads and their cross drilled rotors. Bit better bite than stock, IMO. Not very noisy and dust is about the same as stock
I've always used Brembo as long as it's available. In my experience, it's always been an upgrade to use brembo branded pads and when changing cars. No noises, nice feel, predictable. I don't do any hard driving, like track days or anything, but for road trips across mountains with full loads and all types of weather, they always gave me confidence.
Brembo sind meiner Meinung nach nicht mehr das, was es mal war. In meinem Mazda quietschen die schon ordentlich, wobei die OEM das auch tun.
Volvo uses a softer compound. I think they call them comfort brakes or something? I would always get about 40k miles out of my pads on my XC90. I switched to an Acura MDX and got 140k miles out of my pads. Volvo brakes work really well but I’ve never had a set last really long time.
I have Brembo brake pads and they are very noisy.
