Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Volvo
15k miles on powerstop “street sport” whatever pads with raybestos painted and coated rotors. Powerstop shoes and drums in the rear. All well so far, hardware appeared quality, pads have a little more bite than whatever was on it when I bought it.
Powerstop z23
Absolutely love em, and I abuse them, they still last
I have had great luck with the full ceramic power stop kit as well.
I've used Powerstop in the past and like them. Good stopping power, low dust, good price.
For a street only car, powerstop pads are what I ran for the longest time; very little to no brake dust, and I feel they bite better than auto part store pads; if you want to head into track-ready/entry pads, then the rest of the comments here are a decent guide at what to look for
Had my pads changed (Volvo service centre) at 30k ish miles, at the main dealer and the discs were fine.
I have powerstop on all four corners with no issues.
I used power stop for years they're great.
Power stops are fine. I've used them. My rears are still good at 240k miles.
It’s very easy to replace the pads diy in Brembos. I used the powerstop z26 as well. But the fronts squealed something awful (started at like 10k) on low mph slow deceleration and the brake dust on the stock pads suck.
