Brembo make some fantastic road-orientated sintered pads, they improved my Street Twin loads.
Running coated rockauto rotors (rust belt life) and brembo ceramic pads. Stops well for under 250 for all 4.
Brembo Z04 is very expensive but is the strongest pad you can buy
Vesrah RJL-ZZ is cheaper and can offer decent bite and is fairly linear pad, XX is stronger but also more progressive
EBC GPFAX is a good pad and cheaper, kind of similar to the ZZ but slightly less feel and weaker
Had my Giulietta's Brembo 330s fronts done (pads and discs) for about $350 with labour and taxes
I always go brembo for my brakes, I'm sure someone will tell me it's wrong but i've never had issues with them
Im currently on Brembo Xtra with brembo pads and its really really good!
I have on my front axle the AP Racing CP7600 BBKs. Works like a charm especially with Brembo ceramic brake pads. Only downside is the rust-like brake dust that comes out of the ceramic pads, causing my black rims to look rusted when it isn't. Nothing a car wash can't solve.
I took my XC40 to a local mechanic who only works on Volvo's and Saab vehicles and the cost for brakes, rotors, and oil change was $1200.
I recently had the brakes done on my 2016 XC 60 by my long-term mechanic. It was all four corners with pads and rotors. He charged $1300 Canadian (950 USD).
Volvos seem to eat brakes. My xc60 is horrible on brakes.
