'22 3.3t SP, with the brembos, bought the F&R Kit, been loving the brakes now. Definitely better than stock after the pads have warmed up.
At 34k miles I have replaced my front brake pads with “Power Stop Z23-2275 Evolution Sport” and it is ten times better than the factory original brakes. If you own a Turbo engine, do yourself a good and replace front pads (at least) asap.
I’d recommend changing the pads. It’s the source of the “warped rotors” that this generation of Volvo is known for. You could wait on it and let Volvo replace the rotors if you have a problem, while under warranty. It’s a trade off, do you want to leave it and need to take it for service to let Volvo deal with it, or do you want to spend a little on some brake pads to prevent a problem. I’ve recommended Powerstop Z23 pads, many folks have used them and great results. They are a very quiet pad, the OEM pads make some graunch type noises, on release like when creeping, which is annoying sometimes.
I have a 2010 x and have the drilled and slotted rotors up front and their calipers. I like their products so much I put them in my wife's 09 Pathfinder. Both z23/26 pads are great. Long life out of either. Used the products for the last 10ish yrs.
I have z26 pads and rotors. No complaints. Good for the price for sure.
I just went to rockauto got 4 brembo rotors and 4 powerstop z26 pads, plus 2 sensors with the dealership installing it for about $1500.
Power stop brakes z36 towing brakes. Stops my fully armored truck with drawers pretty well
Really, stock everything is fine for your needs, second the advice on slotted/drilled. If you insist, Rockauto sells power stop upgrade pads that are good also.
I got powerstop brakes and rotors but not exactly those. I'm mostly happy with them but they suck little bit when it's pretty hot with the Texas heat for me
I replaced the front brake pads on the F56 LCI2 Cooper S with Active cruise control and bought the Brembo P06 093. The pads seems to be a bit smaller than the OE ones so sometimes they make noise on rough roads. They also came without the back part to cover the caliper piston and they make an awful amount of dust.
