Best (quietest) Brake Pads for 1993 850 850 1993

I put Blue Box Volvo pads on my S70 in 2003 along with new Brembo (I thought were OEM at the time) rotors. They have not made one peep since. Not even once. I collect enough dust on the wheels to keep Al Jolson in blackface till the 29th century. But they are bar none, the quietest brakes I've ever had on a vehicle. Since you can't exceed 100% quiet, they literally can't get quieter that this.

That said, I'm so sick of the dust, I'm putting Akebono Euro on the S70 next and already did a 4 wheel brake job with them, along with Zimmerman Z-coat rotors, on my wife's 2009 Jetta. No noise OR dust. So far so good.
