Brake pads ATE or DBA

Volvo uses ATE, Textar brake pads, Zimmerman, Brembo, ATE rotors. i've been using these volvos for years and have had no problems.

I have these exact pads. HUGE improvement.

I have the T2s and the DBA SP Street Performance Brake Pads, the green ones, on 4 corners along with SS brake lines. They have been rock solid since sept of 2022 over 50k miles. Hardly any brake dust compared to Stoptech street semi metallic. They are a great all-round setup, Street and canyons.

Personally very much like ATE ceramic pads.

I'm running DBA Street Performance pads. Low dust and performance seems fine. I'd buy again.

OEM brake pads from Audi are mostly good for day to day braking, and some sporty, but not daily very aggressive driving. But they do a lot of dust and noise sometimes. I found the solution to be just change the pads for "ATE Ceramic" if you don't use your car to do track days and very frequent sporty driving. These don't have ceramic components, it's mostly marketing, but they do have two good characteristics from Ceramic pads, mostly zero noise when heated and almost zero dust! And the low dust it produces, it's not black. Breaking power it's maybe a little better coming from OEM, but nothing crazy. Do not use sport discs with ATE Ceramic, the brand actually advises to use normal discs with these.

Habe schon alle Marken durch von Brembo bis zu Zimmermann.... Nur ATE hats drauf, werde nur noch deren Bremsen kaufen.

ATE und Schluss aus. Damit hatte ich immer top Qualität und nie Probleme.

Brakes feel fine when driving, but after they cool and I go out again, the pedal feels spongey. A few hard stabs and it returns to normal, until I come in and let it cool. No fade while driving, and pads survived despite having been on the car for over 2 years of road use, although they need replacing now really.

Hatte mal teure ATE Bremsen die sofort verrostet sind. Nie wieder.
