RE: after market pads and rotors
I hear Mintex are the maker of the Volvo OEM pads,
IIRC the Mintex pads used to be marketed as PBR which used to Repco. Those are really good brake pads- but I would recommend the "M" not the "D" compound.

RE: after market pads and rotors
I been using Mintex brake pads for years... It has a silver metallic formulation that gives the brakes a distinctly different feel while eliminating brake squeal and dust... But as for the rotors, I previously installed a powerslot rotors... Because it has an average 20-percent larger surface area and can reduce a vehicle's stopping distance by up to 33 percent. These oversized rotors also increase brake torque for reduced pedal effort and have a greater thermal capacity that extends performance during continuous hard braking. Venting and drilling was a key consideration in the engineering process of the rotors and ensures maximum heat dissipation for reliable, consistent braking. As far as I can remember utilization of CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum rotor hats diminishes the rotors tendency to cup under extreme prolonged use and reduces the overall weight of the rotor when compared to cast versions... By the way, I would second the recommendation of the M compound for the pads... Good luck!!!
