Brake pads Bosch or OEM Volvo
OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares
I believe a division of Bosch’s automobile braking development is in NKY. They did the newish NSX brakes there.
Amazon usually has pretty good prices on Bosch pads if you prefer a brand name.
I did just bad slap my 13 recently with bosch blue caramics, and they have been great too.
I felt the stock 4th gen brake pads didn't grip as tight as would be expected on a 4 caliper brake system. So I replaced them with Bosch ceramic brakes. Highly recommend this to any of yall who feel the same.
If you slam on the brakes above 40 mph (when it is clear and safe to do so), you can feel the blood rush to your face.
I put Bosch QuiteCast pads and rotors on mine a year ago and have been very happy.
I know funds are low, but get a quality pad. I prefer Bosch Quiet-cast. Long lasting, no squeak/noise/vibration.
$500 for a wheel alignment and new Bosch pads on all 4 wheels. Car is a 2010 Cruze.
At the moment i drive a 2014 volvo v60 it brakes for me when going under 30 mph and something comes in front of me and I brake (too) late has lots of dings and dongs imho as I used to mainly drive pre 2006 and pre 2000 cars.
I recently replaced all the brake pads on my 2020 brz performance package, and it now squeals way more than before and has a noticeable clunk when pressing the brake pedal especially after reversing. I got Bosch Ceramic QuietCast pads from Rockauto, used ceramic lubricant on the back of the pads and all contact surfaces, and silicone lubricant on the pins. Once I apply a good amount of pressure to the brakes, they're very quiet for awhile but eventually start squealing again. Also I did do the bedding process and it didn't change anything, plus that wouldn't stop the clunking.
