Aftermarket E-brake brank pad solution ...
My main question is: Do you want Carbotech to produce aftermarket E-brake pads for the V8V?

I all for a more cost effective solution. I just was not sure how the emergency brake was contributing to brake dust. Reviewing the shop manual and my understanding of the configuration I really do not think the emergency brake wipes the rotor as a normal operation, sounds like an urban legend

UPDATE:
Got the new E-brake pads in ... they are a brembo pad (and appear to be a standard size). I will go ahead and install a brand new stock set of brembo e-brake pads, but I will send off my stock units to see if carbotech can produce a less expensive solution with their 1521 pad compound for the Aston community.
If it can be done, then you will no longer have to pay $147.50 for e-brake pads (ridiculous I know)...
Hope that helps,
