Brake pads EBC or OEM Volvo
red stuff pads served me well on the street but overheated in my first auto cross day. No one should have any business driving them hard enough on the street to overheat them.
EBC says that their racing RP RP1 brake pads are compatible with their street lineup. So swapping pads back and forth won’t be a problem.
EBC Redstuff pads
I use EBC YellowStuff. They are great on the street and very predictable & consistent at the track. My local track is not very brake intensive: I’ve run 8 track days on the same set of pads plus lots of street miles in between. They’re due to be changed before my next track day.
EBC Bluestuff NDX Appears to perform similar to DTC-30/ME20 or equivalent as a hybrid street/track pad. I know a couple fast drivers that use them with no fade. They're cheap enough that you might as well give them a shot, make sure "NDX" is in the product id.
Redstuff pads; excellent bite, zero dust
I have tried EBC yellowstuff and Ferodo DS2500. EBC yellowstuff won't handle anything on track...they just melt, they arent bad for the price but I prefer the DS2500.
I have run the EBC RP-1s and currently am on the RP-X. The 1s were fine/no issues I just didnt like the lower Mu (less bite). These are a 1400+ deg F pad. I used them on street between track events without issue.
Strange but the EBC blue stuff pads had a bad flutter but when I switched to G-Loc pads it completely went away. So bizarre
I legit just installed the same pads and rotors and the squealing is driving me nuts. It’s only from my passenger side and happens sporadically under light breaking. Everything I have read says it will go away. However I’m at about 400km and it’s still there.
