I've always used the OEM pads- I know there is dust but they never squeal or have issues. That said, JURID makes OEM and my mechanic swears by them- they can be had for some good savings. They are identical to what come in the blue Volvo box. https://www.amazon.com/Jurid-W0133-17901 ... brake+pads Look around- you might find some for cheaper. These are what I bought last for my S70 T5 '98 a few years ago and they are going strong!

I wondered who the OEM was for brakes. Thanks MIJ!
