Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Volvo
The z23 pads handle heat better but they’re not that aggressive in terms of needing to warmup. Its still very much a street pad. For me pedal pressure feels stiffer but slightly spongier than stock if that makes sense. Not a bad thing just something to get used to, and you get used to it quickly. I’d recommend them.
Compare pricing, but I agree with other recommendations for Power Stop Z36 for towing. Huge upgrade to stock.
As for a recommendation on brake pads, I like the Powerstop brand pads. They're pretty low dust and perform well and last a long time
Love my Powerstop Z23’s. Very little dust and great price
Get Powerstop Pads and 2 piece brembo rotors. You’ll come in at less than performance kit and practically no brake dust. From my experience I got the same brake feel as oem, I wouldn’t track it with those pads though.
When I bought my ‘18 AMG GLE43 back in July, I bought a complete set of PowerStop performance ceramic pads and drilled & slotted rotors for the front and back. Since that time, I’ve put over 4000 miles on my AMG GLE43 and the new brake setup works incredibly well. They look great, feel great
For brake pads I really like the power stop z23 pads
PowerStop pads with Brembo rotors are a solid, budget-friendly combo.
I used their pads on my mustang and they had good stopping power but they were loud.
I’ve used powerstop and they’re no better than any cheap/ mid range brakes
