Brake Pads

New pads needed soon, browsing ECP came across Audura pads...
Never heard of them previously, apparently ECP are new stockists of these, made in Germany.
Wondered if anyone has heard/used them ?

No experience with those Audura parts, Volvo Again, but just to note ATE were OEM suppliers and if you wish to maintain that nice pedal I'd be inclined to go for genuine pads.

The dealer I bought my '15 reg from fitted some cheap rear pads, prior to collection, and I am experiencing squeal at low speed braking. Not too irritating at the minute but they're coming off asap.

I haven't heard of those before and I use ECP most days.

I can recommend Pagid from ECP.

I've never heard of those either.

I'm about to fit my usual go-to pads to my 850R - Volvo Police spec from FRF at Swansea. They're similarly priced to standard Volvo pads but have a better initial bite. They are more dusty in use though but its a trade off worth having IMHO. They're made by Pagid, who also made the standard spec pads. They're not that expensive either - try FRF or Caffryns
