Brake pads Bosch or OEM Volvo

Bosch, Powerstop, Dynamic Friction, Brembo blanks, and Akebono are awesome alternatives.

I've used Bosch brakes, they are very good.

Bosche quiet cast brakes and rotors. Love em.

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 have those same pads on my 2018 PP and they don't squeal at all

The bosch ceramics have slightly less bite than the oem dusty trws I had on my car, but they are MUCH cleaner and feel nice.

So far I've been happy with Bosch brake pads.

I got Bosch pads for my '15 off of Amazon. They've been fine on the street, but I've not really pushed the brakes hard

2021 Volvo xc40, $900 for front brake pads, rotors, cleaning and labor.

I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.

The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.

The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.
