Rating 4.5

These are the best double duty brake pad I have tested so far. I have tried stoptech 309 and EBC blue ndx which will start to fade around 4-5 laps at my local track. The dixcel pads I can not get them to fade at all. Pad life seems okay with mix use but street manners are abit worst than the stoptech and EBC (sometimes squeals and dust alot).

Pros: no fade, good for track
Cons: squeals, dusts a lot

OEM Volvo Brake pads

For my 2016 V60 I only spend about $500. Also depending on your rotors and pads, there's no need to do both front and rear together.

Pros: inexpensive repair
Vehicle: Volvo V60

I replaced the front pads myself after 25,000 miles (was 2 years ago), it cost me under $200, including all the necessary tools and original Volvo pads.

Pros: inexpensive, easy installation
Mileage: 25000 km

For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.

On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear

Pros: good street pads
Vehicle: Subaru

They let me use multiple coupons at once (all expired and all say that you can only do 1 discount).

For the account info:

The service tech checked my account and confirmed that only my contact information is on my account and printed it out for me. Then the other tech asked if he checked the scheduler? And they found the ex's contact information on the scheduler. He updated the information on the scheduler and then they both logged in on different computers to check, including scheduling an appointment for me to confirm that only my contact info is on there. Then the other tech checked again and confirmed that it was correct on his computer.

Pros: excellent service
Cons: multiple coupons issue
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

I took my XC40 to a local mechanic who only works on Volvo's and Saab vehicles and the cost for brakes, rotors, and oil change was $1200.

Cons: expensive
Vehicle: Volvo

Last time it went for a service I was advised rear brake pads are 90% worn and needed changing (they had fitted new rear brake pads 8 months previously).

Cons: pads worn quickly
Vehicle: Volvo
