Anyone know if I can use the standard Volvo brake pads with drilled rotors? I have to replace the rotors on both my '95 80 and my '99 s70.

Thanks,
John

    yes, I started with stock pads on drilled rotors, but they created too much dust so I switched to EBC pads in front and PBR in the rear. They do bite better than stock pads, but I also have ss-brake lines so they're a good combo.

    Yes you can, but drilled rotors can wear pads faster than solid or slotted rotors. Unless you race your cars, why pay extra for rotors? The OEM rotors stop the cars in a pretty short distance.
