Brake pads OEM Volvo or STOPTECH

I'm partial to StopTech Sports

Stoptech sports are the best dual use pad I’ve used…they’re great for fast street driving and they last.

I ended up buying stoptech all around and they lsst a twice longer and have a better bite for street use.

Stoptech Sport 309 pads are all I need on my stock power car.

I went to Stoptech Street pads at 35k miles on the fronts only, took care of the issue after a few bed-in runs. Still no shudder at 75k and original rotors

Grimmspeed MCB, STOPTECH Sport package (pads, rotors, lines) and the GR86 Shock/Strut retrofit.

I do change oil and brake pads by myself for my xc60 and xc90.

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 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)
