Are there any other options for aftermarket brake pads for the Vantage? Would love something that doesnt produce as much brake dust...find myself having to clean the wheels too much!

EDIT: did some poking around, looks like there are an EBC red stuff low dust pad set available...anyone have any experience with these?

 

I have been using the EBC Red Stuff front and rear brakes for several months and I love it. No more brake dust after break-in period (20-30 miles).

 

I was extremely happy with Carbotech 1521 pads ... they transformed my braking and eliminated the brake squeal. (granted this is in conjunction with 2piece brembo rotors).

Be sure to get the 1521 e-brake pads as well from Carbotech.

 

+1. EBC reds in the front and OEMS rear. 3 times the dust in the rear!!!

 

Any noise issues with the Red Stuff pads? Initially? What was the break in period like?

 

Absolutely no noise unlike the OEM’s. IMHO it also brakes better and smother and much cheaper than OEM’s.

 

I've been looking for a replacement for my oem pads as well. They're a bit noisy and the dust is a real pain. I've had good luck with the EBCs on other cars, I suppose I'll give them a try.

 

Is there any way to order the pads directly? When I go to the site, I can't find any alternative except a not too local shop in Ontario. Would love to just mailorder them and do the install myself.

Edit - Scratch that, found an online supplier who will order in from the UK to Canada ...

 

There are plenty of sites that order these pads from..

 

i am looking into the EBC yellowstuff 4000
I just need to pick the rotors now, i was looking into the brembo gt, but they only make it for the front, and woul like to keep the same for the rear.

any good rotor set for front and rear?

 

i think i got the rotors, i am looking into the Girodisc Rotor set for 996 turbo & C4S. It requires shims for fit, but comes with the set.
