Sitting at 110,000 and dealership is suggesting the rear brakes be changed. Time for some akebonos!
I used brembo brakes for mine, which I do like. I did also use raybestos element 3 rotors and pads which I also did like.
Ordered brembo brakes (fronts and rears 4 pots) from the same gen Camaro for my VE SSV from Amazon in the US and got it shipped to AUS. Later on found genuine Camaro wheels in SA that I bought for the Commy. Looked the tits and car really pulled up hard. Great upgrade.
I got powerstop rotors drilled and slotted from Amazon front and rear for about $300 and some akebono brake pads with the sensors. Probably all in under $500. Did the work myself, pretty easy honestly.
Naka brembo ata yan eh ahhaha
Brembo sintered for 2k \ud83e\udd2f
I prefer Akebono ceramic. I think their top tier line is called ProAct. Very nice pads. Quiet, low dust, and perform well.
I put some Brembo prime pads on my S80 I had them on before and were pretty solid, until they were about 80% worn and braking performance fell off a cliff Put new prime pads all round and for the first 2k miles they were amazing, very sharp brake feel but again performance started to degraded noticeably From cold they're crap, after about 5 minutes of driving when they warm up they bite as they should, also dust like mad, I left a 3 star review on AutoDoc and they gave me a full refund citing this could be a potential warranty issue, although I reckon that's them not wanting bad reviews on their site I'm probably going to go for Bosch next as that's the OEM Volvo use
Akebono isn't bad, but I usually go with oem brake pads if available.
those bremboo that come from Asia are no good at performance braking
