I’ve always done centric. Good quality, good performance and good price
I replaced all 4 sets of pads on mine with Centric ceramic pads from rockauto. They are quiet and set brake dust. They have excellent grip on the new rotors.
I like Centric’s Posi Quiet brake pads. A little more bite than original pads with substantially less brake dust.
Centric pads and rotors are pretty good. As said above Akenono is OE for pads, maybe rotors too. I run Akebono pads and Brembo standard rotors on my cars. Nice and clean and never any noise and I swear the standard brembo rotors stop harder the centrics drilled/slotted rotors.
A few years ago I went with Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic front pads - CENTRIC 10505690, currently $25.79 on RockAuto, and some Pagid front rotors from there. I know Pagid is a VW OEM and I have no reservations about their brake parts. I’ve run the posi-quiet pads on MK7 Golf and GTI and they’ve been fine.
I’ve used that combo on every car I’ve done brakes on and have had no issues. Great stopping power, very quiet, low dust.
I replaced the pads only to reduce brake dust (Centric Posi-Quiet).
I took my XC40 to a local mechanic who only works on Volvo's and Saab vehicles and the cost for brakes, rotors, and oil change was $1200.
I recently had the brakes done on my 2016 XC 60 by my long-term mechanic. It was all four corners with pads and rotors. He charged $1300 Canadian (950 USD).
The brakes made of wet cardboard is the only disappointment I have with my 2020 XC90.
