Might have to ask Ralliart_chris for the pricings. But you can try endless's pad. Not sure how well it compare to the stock one. I guess can only find out after trying.

EBC pads have a pretty good rep i think EBC green stuff pads for daily driving

i have bendix in my car, the new ones with no brake dust. They are pretty much the same spec as the stock ones and uber cheap. Bout 110 for all front and rears.

I would go the EBC green stuff, around 260 for the set, steve B should know

just do a forum search for bendix brake pads and it will come up. there is part numbers and all. They are from a volvo and fit like a breeze. I took me less than an hour to fit fronts and backs.

Did anyone have replace the rear brake pad yourself ,could you please do a write up ? thanks hips !:p

hmmm..
do you want it here or on the bendix thread. Bendix might be abit better i think. The rears are volvo too yes, and are quite a paint...UNLESS you have a 15mm spanner.
You cant remove the rear calipers without unbolting the rear handbrake cable from the arm and the caliper. Then you need 2 15mm's or a 15 and an adjustable.
If you have the 15mm and have changed brakes before thats fine. Also the rear brake piston you cant jam back in with a hand vice, you need long pin nose pliers and need to twist the piston from the inside clockwise til it gives and goes all the way back. Its all explained in the workshop manual, if you need a copy I have afew here.
