i have always felt the 800's suffer from serious brake fade in that the discs are unable to disperse the heat quick enough..this leads to other issues such as siezed calipers and warped discs..as nick pointed out earlier the calipers are not able to stop a car of the 800 size without compromise I am convinced that the ds2500 pads do a great deal to help with the braking issues but volvo could have helped by using something other that a single pot caliper on a car capable of over 150mph.....

I've got a brand new set of them sat on top of my kitchen cabinet and another set on my C70. Volvo part number is 30645240. As I said, available direct from Volvo still.

They have the wear sensors on them, and they were supplied by Rufe. The part number isn't in the system, but if you know it, then you can order them from Volvo.
