I need new brakes and I know my husband CAN do this as he has done the brakes in every other car we have ever had. I can remember something about some kind of brake pad heating up too much warping the rotor?? ( I could be totally out in left field here) So I went on line today and found these ones. Would these work in my car?? or what ones would be the best to get??

Thanks

Avoid the ceramic models,unless you upgrade your rotors.The stock rotors are not designed for the heat thatis generated which can warp the stock rotors. I plan on going to the EBC Ultimax when it is time, they are more like the original pads with some more features.

There has been commentson the topic about not being happy with aftermarket pads with Volvos and sticking with or changing back to using the OEM pads, Volvo.

 

Yes, you can-I used Akebono 979 and 980 (2005 XC90 4.4L), they produce no dust at all, your husb. will need a 7 or 8 mm allen socket, nothing else is special when changing brakes on this car, also there was a post w/ pics how to do it.

 

Thanks Guy's.
