First IMHO you should have just gone to the Volvo dealer in the first place. If it were my car i would have them check the condition of the rotors....if (and only if) they are within spec, and not warped, I would have them put on a set of front and rear OEM pads(assumeing one or the other is worn down). Never have Volvo rotors turned down, and if they are warped shit can them.
I am 99% sure the Volvo dealer will know enough to use the shims(if needed), and plenty of anti-squeel greese.
On Volvos I always go with OEM parts....the only other option IMHO is to do a real upgrade....when I say real I am not just talking aftermarket rotors and pads......I am talking big bucks though.
