Mintex disks, £57 a pair, Volvo £85 each.
Volvo pads are EBC if the legend on the back of the removed pads is to be belived.
Even if the disks do not last as long as the Volvo ones you are still quids in using the mintex, it's not as if it's a hard job to change disks and pads.

Having used both mintex and Volvo disks on my previous v70 I can honestly say I saw no difference in brake performance or longevity but a huge difference in my wallet when using the mintex.
