Well I have an S70 T5 with non original brake pads all round (APEC at the
rear, can't remember at the front) and they don't squeak squeal or play up
in any way... and as the APEC rears were only £13 a set (about $20) I'm not
about to complain!
All you need to do is make sure ou use a good anti squeal compond on the
back of the pad and fit new antisqueal shims.
