Ihatespeedbumps Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I have been using Jurid pads and Brembo rotors with great success on 850 and X70 cars as of late. No noise, normal dusting and the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkc70 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hello all, Always been a fan of the OEM blue box brake pads and rotors. Working at the dealership, it was easy to tell just by driving a car whether or not it had OEM friction installed. In any case, my S70 has needed front pads and rotors (previous owner had aftermarket installed just before I purchased nearly 6 years ago), so I had the Wife pick them up today when she stopped by the dealer. As we all know, the pads and rotors are no longer made by ATE. Pads are now produced by Roulunds in India, rotors are made in China... Have seen mixed reviews about dust and squealing, but most search results are complaints from the same one or two people here. Are the new parts bad? I am mostly concerned with stopping power. I have (as mentioned above) always been more confident in the OEM pads, because they offer so much better performance in all conditions. Is that true of the Roulunds pads, or are they "just okay"? I can source ATE pads and rotors for the same price (or even less). Should I return them and buy ATE, or keep what I have? No real interest in Akebono, Mintex, PBR, etc. Would like to stay OE on this, as they've always outperformed in my experience. Please advise, thanks Joe You've answered your own question since you can source ATE's for less money and feel more peace of mind. India pads seem the same, ok stopping, very little to no noise, and brake dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveybeee Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 We have been using the Textar pads when possible, and for the most part, Zimmerman rotors. Very good performance. The usual dusting, and seem to stay quiet. Jurid is good, Ate rotors are good. Sometimes Brembo....Just depends on the model and availability.
