I have a 1997 Volvo 850 T-5 and it needs new brake pads. And I'm looking online for the correct pads to replace the ones I have now, what kind of brake pads do I need?|||http://www.ipdusa.com/Volvo-850/Brakes/B鈥?/a>





Here you go, Ipd has been specializing in volvos since 1963. The page show all information on which brake pads you need, and, they're at a good price.|||The kind that fit on your car. The best way to get them is to go into your local parts store, and say "I need brake pads for a 1997 Volve 850 T-5 please." They will look it up on the computer, perhaps ask a question or two, and then hand you what you need.


|||Get EBC brake pad's google em ' alot of online stores sell em for about 30 dollar's + UP , guaranteed shipping .:)|||Ones just like stock will work just fine.||| Standard pads to fit the car you described.. don't buy economy pads( they don't hold up) and don't buy expensive carbon fibre pads (waste of money)...|||You have a T5. Don't skimp on your pads. There are basically three compositions of pads available without getting into the super expensive racing grade. These are: organic, semi-metallic and ceramic.





The cheap organics are lousy! They have a soft pedal feel, they are prone to heating up and 'glazing' of your rotors and if you are hard on your brakes, then they will not last. Also, when organics are hot, they have the worst stopping power. Don't even think of getting organic pads.





Semi-metallic or ceramic pads would be the way go depending on your budget.





Although first introduced as far back as 1985 on some new vehicles, mass after-market applications for ceramic-based disc brake pads are just now becoming widely available. Approximately 33 percent of all new vehicles, domestic and foreign combined, now have ceramic-based disc brake pads. The newest generation of ceramic brake lining compounds contain no chopped steel fibers or steel wool as found in earlier semi-metallic linings, but instead substitute ceramic compounds and copper fibers. These changes provide modern ceramic-based lining materials the capability of handling today's high brake temperatures with less heat fade, faster recovery time, and less wear on both the pads and rotors.'





Of even more value to brake repair facilities is the ability of ceramic lining compounds to significantly reduce annoying brake noise or squeal, which is the No. 1 consumer complaint relating to brake service. Ceramic compounds dampen noise and move brake pad vibrations to a frequency outside of our human hearing range, 20 Hz through 20,000 Hz. As with earlier disc brake pad designs, some ceramic pad applications may also incorporate other noise-reducing features such as chamfers, slots and insulator shims. One leading after-market manufacturer has gone as far as naming its line of ceramic brake pads "Quiet Stop."





Another positive characteristic associated with ceramic brake lining materials is the absence of visible brake dust, a feature that any vehicle owner with stylish wheels will appreciate. All brake materials, ceramic included, will produce some brake dust. Earlier semi-metallic and organic brake compounds left a brownish black dust on wheels. In comparison, ceramic compounds produce a light-colored dust that is much less noticeable and does not attach itself to wheels. |||look on www.eeuroparts.com
