OE or Upgrade?

Hi Guys, I recently bought a 1996 850 2.5 10v estate. I had it serviced at a non-volvo garage which replaced the front and rear brake pads. I am so annoyed having to listen to the squeeling of the brakes, every time I apply them. The mechanic's response was that it was something I would have to put up with! Alternatively, I could perhaps get the brake discs de-glazed. I would appreciate anyone's input. Should I replace the pads for OE or go for a upgrade or both discs and brake pads? Does de-glazing actually work?

From my experience I would fit OE pads with shims and copaslip on the back of the pads. This cured the rattle and the braking sounds. Best of luck.

Hiya, my EBC Greenstuff pads rattle (but don't squeak). As Clan says, if you want peace of mind fit original Volvo. I did try following Jod's advice, and made up a set of shims from cut up beer can superglued to bicycle inner tube for the last set of non OEM pads I was running, and whilst it reduced unwanted noises it didn't cure it entirely. Cheers, Pete
