Brake pads EBC or OEM Volvo

I used EBC Redstuff pads, absolutely love them.

If I was set on EBC pads, I’d get the green stuff as they give the best feel, don’t suffer from long run in times and squeal when cold and wet.

Go with ebc yellowstuff. If you like to drive a little hard. Changing the brakes on these cars is very easy by the way.

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.

Saved thousands and now have EBC breaks and rotors with red stuff , better performance way less money and installed from a highly recommended local shop!

I’ve got a ‘21 XC60 T5 Inscription now with about 33k miles and absolutely love it. I’ve had a couple problems with the front, passenger side interior handle but they’ve been covered under the CPO ten year warranty. Wish it had full screen and wireless CarPlay but there are ways around it and replace the OEM brakes with better ones when it’s time as the Volvo ones suck as they wear quickly and unevenly. VERY happy with it.

I drive a Twingo rs at the moment, with ebc yellow brakes and they are fine enough for the money. Also had them on my previous car a turbo mx5 and they did the job.

I ordered ebc pads for the front and they got here and they're way too small.

The EBC blues are not track pads... Despite how they market them. Once they cool from behind very hot they glaze over...
