Information available from an earlier posting for a DBS - might be worth an inquiry to see if they would fit a V12V?

This is great info, the DBS and V12V have the same brakes so it looks like the corvette ZR-1 pad will fit, I''ll double check with racingbrake to confirm. If so the pads racingbrake offers are half price (and made by brembo so they might even be the same exact pad AM offers). Thanks for the tip!

EDIT:
Heard back from racingbrake, the ZR-1 pads will not fit without modification.

 

I'm not sure if the pads for steel rotors are compatible with CCM rotors...apples and oranges?
There is some conflicting information floating around...anyone care to chime in?

 

From what I've read CCM rotors require a specific pad type, I'm not sure how the compound differs from an iron pad compound though. I'm ok with trying a non-AM pad if it's from another car with CCMs like the ZR-1 but I wouldn't want to try a pad used with iron rotors...potentially ruining CCM rotors is not worth the risk. I'm curious how many different CCM pad compounds are out there, seems like Aston CCMs always receive good reviews compared to some mixed reviews with other cars (noise, lack of cold stopping power etc). I wonder if pad compound could be the difference?

 

Great thread. 2012 V12 Vantage owner here, tracked it once with the same thoguh of "onl once" but had a blast and will do so again.

I had teh EXACT same experience with you on the front pads (this was VIR). Not sure I could make another full day on track with what's left.

I started looking at pad alterntives and found none. You are corect, you have to use pad compounds specific for the CCM rotors.

 

Glad I'm not the only one, maybe the pads are intended to wear out quickly under heavy use to extend rotor life. And yes, think I'll have it out on the track again.

 

I think most of the scud owners run the pagid RSC1. The problem with the stock pads on track was that it was eating up the rotors quickly. The 1600 on pads would be a lot less than the rotor change. Not sure if they have fitment for the v12v.

 

Not to derail the thread here. I'm in Northern California and I was wondering if the membership is worth the (rounding up) $400 asking price. I'm not seeing a whole lot of activities on the website so was wondering what your experience was like.

 

My membership renewal is under $200. 15% discount on the annual service at the dealership pretty much covers the it.
