I’ve got over 40,000 miles on my Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and their pads. This is the second vehicle I’ve used them on. They improve stopping distance, almost no brake dust and they wear really well.
I replaced my front brakes with PowerStop products. Very happy with them after about 20,000 miles. No issues.
I really liked the power stop line on my drag car, so I did them on my wife's car to replace the Brembo pads and rotors and used them on my GC and have been very happy with their performance. used to throw the old car around the dragon in the NC mountains with a lot of quick heavy braking and never had fade. I have had them on both daily drivers for 6 years now.
I put a full set of power stop ceramic pads and their drilled rotors 40k miles ago, and they are still great as well.
For my 2016 V60 I only spend about $500. Also depending on your rotors and pads, there's no need to do both front and rear together.
I replaced the front pads myself after 25,000 miles (was 2 years ago), it cost me under $200, including all the necessary tools and original Volvo pads.
I would rather save a bit and get similar performance and get the Power Stop Z26 carbon infused ceramic pads. If you don't track your car no need for anything higher end as you won't get anywhere near the temps for these to fade.
I did a similar Brand: Power Stop Z26 Streets and I think they’re fine. Anything will be better than the OEM padding/Rotor. Didn’t even flush brake fluid, they did take a few drives before fully losing the squeak/grind sound when approaching full stop even after doing required bedding process. I’m at 72k miles on 2019 3.3t
My only problem with it is the turning radius. The brakes aren't what they should be IMO for triple digit speeds but it is rare I drove at such speed being located in the USA.
I put a set of power stops on the wife’s SUV the weekend before we got married. They lasted maybe 12,000 miles? Maybe less? They warped and started chattering something awful. Wound up doing rotors, pads and calipers on all four wheels: Raybestos coated rotors and heavy duty pads, haven’t had a problem since.
