Brake pads Brembo or OEM Volvo

OEM Volvo Brake pads

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.

Pros: 3mm left after 90k km
Vehicle: Volvo XC90
Mileage: 135000 km

Brembo Brake pads

If your car is spec'd for Brembo brake pads, they probably weren't fully needed in yet, which is 100% normal.

Pros: normal bedding process
Cons: not fully bedded

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.

Pros: Akebono pads long lasting
Cons: Brembo pads wore out fast

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.

Cons: overheating, spongy feel
