The StopTechs Sports are the better track and street option, I used the front pads in my E46 M3 for 10k+ street miles and a few trackdays. They have good feel and modulation. Just had a little bit of fade towards the end of a 25 minute session.
They let me use multiple coupons at once (all expired and all say that you can only do 1 discount).
For the account info:
The service tech checked my account and confirmed that only my contact information is on my account and printed it out for me. Then the other tech asked if he checked the scheduler? And they found the ex's contact information on the scheduler. He updated the information on the scheduler and then they both logged in on different computers to check, including scheduling an appointment for me to confirm that only my contact info is on there. Then the other tech checked again and confirmed that it was correct on his computer.
I’ve been happy with my StopTech Sport pads.
I've had a bunch of stoptech sports on backroads and they have been good to go every single pair. Dust like crazy but they have good stopping power and hold on to their bite even when they start getting hot. You won't be setting any world records with them but for double duty they have served well.
I run StopTech Sport pads and they’ve been fine. Pretty quiet but also pretty dusty (comparable to stock pads). No full track days in hot weather yet though, just autocross and cooking them on backroads.
Had my pads changed (Volvo service centre) at 30k ish miles, at the main dealer and the discs were fine.
I’ve tried nearly every pad on the list here and for a dual duty casual track and street car without needing the change pads I have found the stoptech sport and carbotech ax6 good if you don’t want to swap pads which is better for a first timer in my opinion. Otherwise ferodo ds2500 and the other ones in this thread are good if you get more experienced given time. The carbotech ax6 I am selling a set if interested brand new in box but they are expensive as are many suggestions on this list. The nice things about the stoptech is they are a true do all pad that is cheap as well!
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.
Canada here: paid around $700 CAD for rear brake pads and rotors at Canadian Tire back in May for my 2008 V70.
I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.
