New front Brake disc and pads

sreviz · Dec 6th, 2017, 11:48

Hi all,
Where can i source cheaper front new brake pads and discs for xc90.
Do I have to go genuine ones or aftermarket ones - equal quality to genuine ones are fine pls.

Thank you

I think that you are in the wrong forum with this question.

you're in the wrong forum - but Pagid from Euro Car Parts or Jurid from GSF (both using one of their readily available weekend discount codes) are good quality - I'd probably go for the Jurid.

Thanks. Xc90 share the same pads and disc with S80.
Just wondering if who is making the discs and pads for Volvo. I gues it will be much cheaper if we buy from them.

I had issues before from pagid brake pads. Thanks for the advice.

The cheapest possible are the breakers and look for Volvo stamped

Hi. I’ve used APEC discs and pads on my V70, great quality and money back warranty.

I have Mintex all round and after 50k all is good. I bought them for half price of Volvo parts. Whoever made the originals, hats off, they were very good. Fronts lasted 130k.

Thanks Brwndan. I got an advisory in the mot for the front brake. The rester told that it was rusted inside rhe hollow chamber.

I dos some reaearch regarding who makes the brakes for volvo. I found that ATE used to make it before bur they stopped it. These days rhw pads are made in India and the discs are from china.

I have read your posts aswell regarding Mintex before.
Did you sourced it from ebay?
Thank you.

Got them from https://www.micksgarage.com/home

Rust was what decided me to replace the rears. The inside in particular was very bad and the handbrake was marginal on a good day.
