Default ?Front Brake pad recommendation 1999 S80 T6?

I did a search and found this discussion: https://volvoforums.com/m_41054/tm.htmand followed a couple of the links to Vovo parts suppliers.

The existing front pads on my 1999 S80 T6 grab very well but produce a lot of dust and seem to wear out very quickly.

Most comments seem to indicate that non Volve i.e. third party pads cause a lot of squeeling noise.

Has anyone found/used third party/after market pads which maybe don't grab quite as well but adequately and which produce less dust and last a lot longer the the OEM's?

I do notice that the rear pads which of course do a lot less work don't produce anywhere near as much dust as the fronts and also wear a lot less.

Thks.

My dad has five cars, all with different levers of brakeing performance, from above average braking systemto "race" type braking systems.We use anti brake squeal lube and theynever squeal untill they need to be changed. I use PBR pads on the 745tand have no brake dust but also have a great stopping power.
