Brake pads Hella Pagid or OEM Volvo
My personal compromise on the GT4RS is Pagid RSL29 front and rear.
Pagid yellow for me.
I got these pads..no issues.
I run Pagid Street+ pads with DBA rotors. I like them
Pagid every time. Never had a problem with any car I’ve put them on.
Back in December, I had discs and pads replaced all around on my 2018 Octy vRS. My local garage was happy to fit supplied parts. With the discount Halfords were running at the time, I've had Pagid discs/pads fitted. No rattles, no squeaks, and they stop me when they need to.
Since we know Volvo has undersized the brake pistons for their SPA vehicles, leading to issues with pulsation. Instead of upsizing the brakes, they have released several pad revisions, have the latest pads slowed the occurance of brake pulsations?
2021 Volvo xc40, $900 for front brake pads, rotors, cleaning and labor.
Volvo uses a softer compound. I think they call them comfort brakes or something? I would always get about 40k miles out of my pads on my XC90. I switched to an Acura MDX and got 140k miles out of my pads. Volvo brakes work really well but I’ve never had a set last really long time.
I have a 2019 XC40 and kept having brake issues - they ended up replacing the pads and rotors… at less than 15k miles. I continue to have issues (now it’s nothing serious, just a very loud obnoxious squeal)
