REPLACEMENT BRAKE PADS

Post by Golly Gosh » Mon Aug 02, 2010 2:14 pm

Has anyone purchased any front and rear brake pads recently ~ if so where from please?
Have tried suggested sources in past posts but either 'not in stock' or no response.
For info Volvo are quoting £36.80 + vat for front set and £32.80 + vat for rear set.
I have a 92 480 auto turbo. Take it all models use same pads apart from those with ventilated discs?
Would much appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you.

Try partsforvolvosonline.. They stock brake pads in different price ranges. Good service and quick delivery. The pads differ in vented and non vented discs and ABS and non ABS from memory. You can find a great guidance to replace the rear pads and discs in the howto section.

or buy some EBC GREEN STUFF ones , which are about £35 and you may notice a 10% ish improvment in braking .
140mph for £175 just test the brakes
