I had my pads/rotors replaced recently on my 98 Cross Country with OEM rotors and Repco pads. The mechanic (Volvo independent) recommended this combination and I have been VERY pleased so far. I have not had to wipe off any brake dust after about 1000 miles of combined driving. That is to say, I have not had to clean off the wheels since he put the pads on.

The mech said that the Repco pads have gray dust rather than black so the dust does not show as much (sounds good anyway). So far there is no squeal either.

Braking power seems very good too. My wife commented how much better the car stopped as soon as the new rotors/pads were on. (Of course, that is compared to rotors/pads that needed to be replaced)

Ask me how I like this combo in another 6 months.
