i wasn't even paying attention to what i typed. ya, i meant that i used the hps. i wanted good responsive braking power. i am pleased thus far.

mazda dealers offer lifetime replacement pads... i go like twice a year lol

The money I spend on wheel cleaner is negated by the free cost of stock pads.

I just read the entire thread. /facepalm Will someone actually post something with either a link or a part number that WILL fit, will NOT need to be modified, WILL perrform as well or better than OEM or where to get OEM's cheap.

I'm on paper thin pads and need new rotors, I just need to get this junk replaced.

damn... so ive been using the wrong pads... i bought mine at an autopart.... gggrrr:banghead:

According to O'Reilly Autoparts website the proper pads are MKD915. It says that it is compatible with MS3, Volvo S40 T5, and others.

Check it here: Brake Best MKD915 - Brake Pads | O'Reilly Auto Parts

I just picked some up and will be putting them on either tonight or tomorrow. The only thing that's weird is it comes with a wiring harness.

I work for an auto parts chain (privately owned) LMD915A is the part number I come up with.

I know I'm reviving the dead, but I was playing with O'Reilly's site... check this shit out for the fronts:

Volvo
. S40 T5 & T5 R
. V50 T5 & T5 R
. C70 T5

Saab
. 9-3 (Aero, Aero XWD, Turbo X)

For the rears?
Jesus.

Chevy, Jaguar, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn & Volvo

Ok, So I just got my 08 MS3 but it needs brakes (35k miles on the clock)

Is there much of a different in price from the MS3, S40, Saab pads etc or is it just the fact that any will fit?

Also the prices vary from $25 - $125, Can I get some feedback of whats good to get for a good price?

Thanks all
