A 189-Millimetre Front Pad for the Turbocharged All-Wheel-Drive S60
DBA DB15323XP is the front axle set of four Xtreme Performance pads for the 2014-2018 Volvo S60 II with the 3.0T all-wheel-drive powertrain. At 189.5 mm long it is one of the larger pads in DBA's street range, matching the wide single-piece front caliper Volvo used on the T6-era car.
Key Features
- XP heavy-duty compound with high initial bite and consistent friction across its temperature range.
- Semi-metallic carbon-fibre friction material with a low-copper formulation.
- Slotted pad face plus shims to control noise.
- TSP scorched surface, so the pad reaches a stable transfer layer faster.
- Large 189.5 mm by 87.3 mm footprint tailored to the S60's front caliper.
- 14.4 mm friction thickness in an axle set weighing 3.85 kg packaged.
- Supersedes the earlier DB15323 part number.

Whether other S60 II engine variants share this caliper has not been confirmed, so DBA DB15323XP is tagged only to the 3.0T AWD car.

About DBA
XP is DBA's heavy-duty street compound, sitting above the SP street pad in bite and temperature capability. It is a low-copper carbon-fibre semi-metallic material with a scorched face. DBA DB15323XP applies that compound to the wide front pad shape used by the second-generation Volvo S60 in 3.0T all-wheel-drive form.

FAQ
What kind of driving is the Xtreme Performance compound aimed at?DBA positions XP for road cars that see spirited driving, heavy loads or occasional track sessions, where a standard replacement pad would start to fade before the compound reaches its working range.
How big is the pad?189.5 mm long, 87.3 mm wide and 14.4 mm thick, which is a notably long pad for a sedan front axle.
Will this fit a four-cylinder S60?That has not been confirmed. Only the 3.0T all-wheel-drive car is verified against this part number.
Is the pad chamfered?No. This part number is slotted and shimmed but not chamfered.
How much does a set weigh?3.85 kg packaged for the four pads.
What is the copper content?The XP compound is described by DBA as low copper rather than copper free.
Does it need a special bed-in?It needs DBA's standard bed-in, but the scorched face shortens it compared with an unscorched pad.
How many boxes do I need?One. A box contains four pads, which is the complete front axle.
What part number came before it?DB15323.
Installation Instructions
- Have the pads fitted by a qualified technician in line with DBA's friction guidance.
- Raise the car and remove both front wheels; the 189.5 mm pad is long, so check the caliper opening matches before going further.
- Inspect the front rotors for scoring and confirm remaining thickness against the minimum specification.
- Retract the pistons and clean the carrier abutments so the long pads are not pinched at the ends.
- Fit the four pads with their shims, then refit the caliper and torque the guide bolts to the vehicle manufacturer's published specification.
- Pump the pedal until firm and confirm the wheel spins freely before lowering the car.
- Bed in on a clear road: from 50 km/h (30 mph) brake down to 10 km/h (5 mph) with medium pedal pressure without coming to a stop.
- Repeat that cycle about ten times with roughly 30 seconds of rolling cool-down between each one.
- Avoid heavy or prolonged braking for the first 200 km (120 miles) so the friction transfer layer stabilises.
