I am ordering a set of aftermarket pads to cut down on dusting (Girodisc Magicpads) and he said he has them in stock but they come in 3 size thickness and he can't find out which is correct. Anyone know offhand? Thanks!

 

I have the measurements for the V8V-S but it is a radically different front brake setup from the standard V8. The pad is a unique shape and I couldn't find anyone who had it in stock so I just had Carbotech make a set. Let me know if you need contact info or measurement on the V8V-S pads.

 

Front brake disk from new 32mm, minimum is 30mm, rear disk new is 28mm and minimum is 26mm the new pads are 9.4mm thick with a min serviceable surface of 2.5mm, minimum before damage to sensor, this is from the Vantage workshop manual

Hope that helps

 

Is that for the Vantage or the Vantage S? I measured my front disc to be 34.5mm in thickness (slightly worn) and rear was at 28.5 (visibly worn and grooved). Pad thickness on a new front pad from Aston Martin is 10.5mm with a 5.5mm plate and about 2mm worth of rubber/stainless/rubber shims (total of roughly 17mm in height)

 

I am going to replace the front disc with a different Brembo GT design (part# 09.A009.12 / 09.A009.22). I am also changing the rear rotors to a two piece set by Brembo. Hopefully it will increase the cooling properties of the rear set enough to prevent the glazing that these cars are seeing so much.

Here are my notes on the front pad.

 

Sorry my comment refer to the V8 Vantage its the one I have the book for
