V70R pads and disks

**Pauld** · Monday 7th May 2012, 20:05

Any recommendations and best supplier?

My front pads and disks need replacing.

Do I stick with OE or change?

And how much is this going to cost!

thanks

Did give them a good coat of paint first.
the ones i fitted have got holes drilled to approx 1.5mm deep when they are worn out the holes disappear time to change again, new to me good idea.
Cost me 165 inc vat for both disc's 330mm and brembo pads .

Local motor factors in Devon not a national chain

The rears are cheaper than the fronts to do.
BUT will you do the hand brake at the same time as shoes can loose the friction material and that can cause a big problem as it can do a lot of damage .
shoes are about £25 for the set Volvo price on eBay.

R pads and disks from Volvo are just repackaged Brembo kit, Volvo buy them from Brembo and repackage and etch VOLVO on, i bought the Brembo disks and pads off flee-bay and saved money, all because it has not got Volvo etched on it!

I had these fitted and was very impressed. I also had the brake fluid changed at the same time. I do get brake squeal when they get a bit hot but they certainly work well. If you do the rears make sure you have a set of handbrake shoes and the little fitting springs ready to fit as when the rear brake assembly was taken apart on mine the shoes just fell to pieces. Thats a common thing with them.
