Brake pads OEM Volvo or Hawk Performance

Hawk Performance PC, they work very well and hardly any dust. Just a little squeaky when cold tho.

Then replace the pads with Hawk performance ceramic pads.

I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0

After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.

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.

The rotors I used are DBA 4000 series T3, and pads are HAWK HPS 5.0

At the moment i drive a 2014 volvo v60 it brakes for me when going under 30 mph and something comes in front of me and I brake (too) late has lots of dings and dongs imho as I used to mainly drive pre 2006 and pre 2000 cars.

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?

I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.

I tried Hawk HP+ dual use but they were exactly as people warned. Worst of both worlds.
