Rear brake pads on Viggen same as Volvo 240

I am in dire need of brakes for my Viggen, and by the time I figured out what I wanted replace the old stuff with the rear pads wore right through. So as an interim fix while I ordered rotors from Eeuroparts I went and bought aftermarket pads and went about installing them. On the weekend i started doing the swap when my neighbour came over with a beer so i decided to have my mechanic change the pads for me this week. Well I was there this morning and it turned out the pads I had bought didn't fit (too thick, even with worn rotors) so my mechanic pulled out a set of pagid pads for the Volvo 240. They fit perfectly and were $35 CDN instead of $90 CDN.
I thought this could be usefull info for others,
