Just need to voice my opinion as I cant understand why ppl associate "Brembo" with "super hyper kit that will cost you an arm". Yes, you can do Brembo 6pot floating disc kit to replace your 320mm ones but in the same time you can buy just standard Brembo discs that ARE usually much cheaper than OEM volvo ones while still being very good and NON performance part.
Example here.
to OP: In my case, set of UV coated Brembos were 2x cheaper than set of Volvo branded discs (made by ATE). Did 50k miles on my set (Brembo + ATE ceramic pads) and cant say enough how good the setup is - no squealing, no dust (ZERO dust) and very good stopping power, and I do drive like a maniac so no easy life on parts.
I personally always steer clear of Pagid/Mintex/Brake Engineering etc etc as for brakes, but its only my personal opinion. For not much more you can find much more reputable brands so I always do. Anyway, point is - Brembo also does normal/non performance/good parts, that wont cost you arm&leg and will perform as well as OEM parts with Volvo sticker on them.
