Brake pads Brembo or OEM Volvo
Brembo sintered for 2k \ud83e\udd2f
The Ohlins / Brembo combo is light years better than the suspension and brakes on my MT07 were though
A set of 2x front Brembo pads and discs are less than \u00a3300 from Eurocarparts
I use Brembo Ceramic brake pads on my Mini Cooper S and Brembo rotors. Less dust, no noise.
XC90 T8, total 135k km on the clock and have done 85k km ourselves:
- previous owner did the brake pads at about 40k km
- we have now done front and rear brake pads recently (so after about 90k km use), both front and rear still had about 3mm to go.
They are Brembo brakes so can be done anywhere.
If your car is spec'd for Brembo brake pads, they probably weren't fully needed in yet, which is 100% normal.
I put on some Brembo ceramic pads on the rears and it felt a tad softer braking.
I had Brembo rotors and ceramic pads front and rear on my 2017 V60 T5. Rotors were fine, the pads wore out ridiculously fast. Switched to Akebono pads and was much happier. They lasted literally twice as long.
My brakes are overheating when I break the car from around 190kph (118mph) to around 30kph (19mph), I smell the brakes burning and see a lot of brake dust on the wheel. Even the brakes feel a bit spongy for a while after, but it firms back up.
