Eurocarparts pads will be absolutely fine BUT try your Volvo dealer and ASK NICELY for a 30% discount on them. You should get it, i did, but then again i was wearing my Pink Tutu at the time! VERY VERY straightforward job. 30 minutes all in for both sides and i am not joking. Darryl |

I've also read on the forum that EBC Greenstuff pads are also good and produce less dust. Tutu and marigolds are a great option! |

Hi,
I recommend Rufe. The prices are good and if you order service items with the part (filters, etc.) the postage is easily swallowed up with the discount. Well worth a call. I have bought many pattern parts when I first got my V70 many years ago and without exception I have had to replace these parts with OEM parts from Rufe. Some pattern parts are of good quality. But unless given good advice I would stick to Volvo. So now I won’t risk pattern parts (with the exception of recommended HD drop links) as I hate having to redo work to replace parts that were not up to the job. Bob
