Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Volvo
Just installed the powerstops yesterday. Did the break in, and they feel much better than the basics i had on. You can feel the stopping power by i would say 30% more than just regular rotors and pads.
I installed power stop brakes a year ago. I have a 2004 V6, with the smaller caliper. The power stop is a huge upgrade. Been off-road with them, downhill coming from lake Tahoe with my family of 5 and full load, towed a few thousand lbs to the dump, brakes did great. I swapped because my rotors always warped, after 3 full rotor changes I had enough.
Power stops are great I’m about to get some for my Ulti that fit with my brembo calipers
Had em on my LS430, brake feel better, definitely a bit more noticeable bite
I recently (about 5K miles ago) did Powerstops and absolutely love them. I’ve done many brakes on many of my Toyota/Lexus SUVs and most of the time have had best luck with OEM, but the OEM on my Sequoia not so much (warping/pulsing). With much research found the Powerstop drilled and slotted are great for these large beasts…and indeed they are!
Get the Powerstop z36 don’t waste the extra money on the red calipers.
I have had good experiences with PowerStop rotors/pads. I tow an 8k camper regularly with my half ton on stock wheels/height.
I use and recommend the Z23 Evolution Sport Pads. They refer to it as Carbon Fiber Ceramic. It is incredible. It really last a long time. Has great stopping power and it produces very little brake dust.
if the "powerstop track day" pads are offered in your application, those are the cheapest things I've found that will sort of work for a track day. and by that, I mean at novice or slow intermediate pace for my platform.
I have them and haven't seen any improvement in braking. They're also very noisy.
