Brake pads Hella Pagid or OEM Volvo

What bloody manufacturer is this? For my Volvo XC60 it’s around £330 for front discs and pads main dealer

I've been researching brake pads recently since I was looking for something to replace my awful Akebono pads up front. What I've learned is that Textar and Pagid are OEM pads and will have the "BMW brake feel". Textars are usually on the rears and Pagid on the fronts. Bosch is supposedly not quite as good as the other two. I bought the Pagid pads and man, what an improvement from the Akebono. I can stop again without having to jam on the brakes.

I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like

Pagid have done me surprisingly well on track days.

With pagid discs and pads i have never had this issue.

I put in Hella pagid. They are fantastic

I have Pagid RSL29 pads and ATE 200 fluid on Hankook RS4s -- I don't worry too much about brake fade unless it's peak Texas summer heat, in which case I'm managing engine and tire temperature with cool down laps anyway.

My only problem with it is the turning radius. The brakes aren't what they should be IMO for triple digit speeds but it is rare I drove at such speed being located in the USA.

I got pagid and they are decent.

I'd go Pagid because they're a familiar brand. Had some Eicher pads that left really awful dust and were quite loud under gentle braking, lasted 5k miles before I gave up and swapped them out.
