Hi All,

Sorry to trouble again but as part of my upgrading plan i’m Now looking at discs and pads. I’ve read a few threads including one suggesting Volvo dealerships might be a good bet but my questions are 1. Who was the OEM supplier to Volvo? 2. If you look at ECP or CP4L sites the cost difference between the cheapest and Bosch or Brembo is around £16 a pair and maybe a tenner for pads. £26 additional cost to get the best brands doesn’t seem much PROVIDED they offer better quality.

I’ve always thought of Brembo as top notch products. What do you think and are their discs and pads worth the extra?

Thanks.
