I’ve got a ‘21 XC60 T5 Inscription now with about 33k miles and absolutely love it. I’ve had a couple problems with the front, passenger side interior handle but they’ve been covered under the CPO ten year warranty. Wish it had full screen and wireless CarPlay but there are ways around it and replace the OEM brakes with better ones when it’s time as the Volvo ones suck as they wear quickly and unevenly. VERY happy with it.
I got PowerStop Z26 pads and steel braided brake lines to go with my brembos and they’re great. They’re quiet and leave very little brake dust.
I just did my brakes for the first time. Way easier than I expected. I think I spent $700 on front and back Powerstop Z36 pads and rotors.
I had Z26s on my first TSX. Those things made my stock brakes feel like a joke. They also look cool on the car too. I'm planning to get them again for my current tsx when it's time to replace my pads.
I ran powerstops on my P71 when I did them and have run them on most of my vehicles since, they\u2019re great brakes for the money just make sure you follow the bedding-in instructions.
I upgraded mine with powerstop z26 pads up front with their slotted and drilled rotors, and z23 in the rear with slotted and drilled there too and stops on a dime and I dont ever detect any brake fade and I drive fast in steep winding roads and up Mt roads with it
PowerStop ceramics. I put them on the fronts. Dust was crazy on the OEMs
Unless you do extreme driving (lots of mountains runs, hot laps on track, etc) slotted and or drilled rotors are a waste of money. They will cause much higher pad wear. Spend your money on good pads and buy meh rotors to get best bang for your buck and longevity.
Powerstop z23/z26 are both pretty good, have ran a couple sets.
I've got Power Stop track day spec pads. They're a little noisy when cold and make a lot of dust but they still stop hard when cold and even better when they have some heat in them.
I have the powerstop z23 pads and man, they're so damn noisy. Anyone else experiencing the same? Trying to figure out if the shims need to be greased or the shop didn't put them on right ????
