PBR® Deluxe Organic Brake Pads

If you have primarily used Volvo factory brake pads on your Volvos, then you will really appreciate the PBR Deluxe brake pads. They are formulated from the latest organic, asbestos-free materials and provide significantly reduced dusting on the wheels and very little, if any, squealing compared to the factory pads. They provide measurably longer life — up to 2-3 times longer than conventional pads —and extreme resistance to heat, which translates into much less brake fading and squealing. PBR Deluxe pads deliver consistently smooth braking performance and are considered a great upgrade to any Volvo. 40,000-mile warranty.

PBR® Metal Master Semi-Metallic Pads

Metal Master semi-metallic brake pads excel in high-performance, high-speed, and high-heat circumstances (including stop-and-go traffic). They have a much higher resistance to heat than standard organic pads and offer a more aggressive bite and firmer brake feel. Plus, depending on your driving style, the life expectancy of Metal Master pads exceeds other conventional semi-metallic pads by 200 to 500 percent. Similar to the Deluxe pads, brake dust is significantly reduced over other semi-metallic pads. Containing no asbestos, Metal Master pads provide excellent stopping power under all driving conditions, wet or dry. Good for the occasional autocross or track day, but not a true race pad. 40,000 mile warranty.

PBR® Ultimate Ceramic Pads

Ultimate brake pads feature a special Kevlar and ceramic-strengthened formula with a high co-efficient of friction and excellent high-temperature wear and fade resistance. Designed for ultra-high performance driving and hard-braking applications, PBR Ultimate pad users will benefit from extreme stopping power and high resistance to brake-fade at high temperatures. That’s because the decrease in friction over repeated heavy-duty stops, as the temperature increases, is minimal. PBR Ultimate pads boast a maximum continuous working temperature of 550°C (1022°F degrees). Consistent throughout its operating temperature range, you’ll get dependable, predictable stops time after time, while maintaining solid pedal feel.

D1261D Reviewed by Richard Diedrich from Shillington, PA

So as everything in life, opinions vary but I found PBR pads are one of the best additions to your car. They have good initial bite and exceptional life and I have very little dust. Pads were installed on new rotors and when rotors were used up and replaced the same pads were used after sanding them smooth again (not recommended).

The S40 eats rear pads and the PBR organics will be the replacement.

I put these on my '98 S70 T5 with the Powerslot rotors. They are NOTICEABLY noisier than semi-metallics, and the amount of brake dust is absurd. Wheels are dirty within 2-3 days after getting them cleaned.

However, these brake hold up amazingly in use. No fade or noticeable give even when you are running them hot as hell.

I would not recommend these as an upgrade for daily drivers or even occasional fast drivers. You will not require the heat resistance that these offer, and the noise and dust is simply too much for those. Track car or constant hard riding/braking is more the requirement for these.

ipd customer service response:

  • Deluxe (organic) pads offer better stopping power for normal drivers but can fade under extreme conditions. Deluxe pads create a fair amount of dust. Deluxe compounds are less likely to squeal than other materials.
  • Metallic pads offer less dust and less fade under extreme conditions, but need increased pedal effort until they have warmed up. They also have a tendency to squeal.
  • Ceramic compounds are really for racing applications. Ceramic pads require increase pedal effort and create more dust, but offer superior fade resistance under extreme conditions.

Great - use them with power slot rotors.

D1261D Reviewed by Matt from Ohio

So I bought PBR's deluxe front and rear pads for my 99 C70 almost a year ago. Stopping-wise they're actually pretty good. But as for IPD recommending them for their lack of dust and squealing is ridiculous. These are the most embarassing brake pads I've ever owned because they are so loud. They are quiet only for 1-2 days after I wash the car. Too bad I can't get my money back. Buyer Beware! Just stick with OEM.

ipd customer service response: Rotors need to be replaced or machined at the time of pad replacement or squealing will occur. Some applications also have shims to help reduce noise. Organic compounds (deluxe) tend to squeal less than metalic or ceramic compounds.
