Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Volvo

I've put Power Stop on brakes several vehicles and never had a problem

Have been running them a year on my MK4 R32 with my 17z BBK upgrade and they stop great, haven\u2019t faded on me in the mountains, very low dust, no squealing.

I pulled the factory Brembo pads out and installed the Powerstop pads... No more dust all over and they work perfectly

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.

Check out Powerstop for your brakes. I use them and they are amazing! Excellent price too

Get some powerstop z23's. You wont regret it.

I'm running Z26 Pads front & rear on my '20 with DBA T3 Rotors. Performance is excellent. I don't get the squeal others have reported with the Z26 pads. I had originally installed the DBA XP Pads but they were too dusty for my liking.

I'm currently running Z23 pads with DBA rotors (slotted, so the wear on the pads should be similar to the Z26 rotors). The PowerStop pads have less initial bite, but I personally feel like they brake harder at max brake pressure than OEM pads. It takes a bit to get used to, but it feels fine long term.

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?

The Power Stop pads do have the end clips but they are moving in the calipers a little. After following the break in instructions that include hard braking the metal sound pad on the outside of the pad slid up and wrecked it somewhat.
