Brake Pads - V8Vantage

Looking for recommendations for brakepads. I have a 2014 V8 Vantage that I purchased new. The brakes have had a terrible squeak/squeal since the beginning. It have beed to the dealer multiple times with no results. They spray the pads and rotors with something and that is about it. That seems to last about 20 miles.

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Any recommendations on replacement pads?

We sell a lot of the Porterfield R4-S for just that reason, and also because they are so low dust.

I bought the Porterfield R4Sfrom Stuart. He's 100% correct. Little brake dust and no noise.

Just took a trip to south Florida with the new brake shoes and hardly any dust.
I'm sure that after the brakes are fully bedded that there will be even less dust.
They seem to stop better too. Porterfield R4S pads. Thanks to the forum for recommending them.
