Best brake pads for 2011 V12 Vantage?

I have had my '11 V12 Vantage for 4-5 months. The brake squeal at low speed seems to have possibly gotten even worse. I have searched these forums and read various things about bedding the pads in forward or reverse and not much difference after doing that. I read about BG Stop Squeal and considered doing that myself but product recommends doing this for new or close to new pads. Also, I can't find any information about whether this is compatible with the Carbon Ceramic brakes but don't see why not. Thought about buying new pads and adding the Stop Squeal but am having problems locating pads specific for the V12. Most sites do not list the V12 Vantage in their little drop down menus. Does anyone have any pad recommendations (maybe less squeaky) and where I could find them? I do not track the car, it is street use only although I do drive it pretty hard.

I agree with the post above: Get rid of the ceramic brakes and switch to steel brakes. Another forum member did so on his DBS and is so much happier due to more options, lower costs, no more brake squeal.

Thanks for the replies so far. The pagid brake pads appear to be for 2013 V12s and greater. http://www.pagidracing.com/en/product-search/race-products/racing-brake-pads/shape-detail/s/shape-4941.html .

Not sure I want to invest a bunch of money on changing out rotors for all 4 wheels. Did a quick online search anyway (Wilwood,Brembo) and running into issue of no fitment for 2011 V12 V.

Again, CALL racing brake. They have pads for your rotors.

Pagid RSC1 or RSC2 (front 4941 and rear 4943) are for all Aston with CCM brakes.
Shapes are the same on the whole range !

Well done. Where did you get the vents? I know you got them painted, but they don't look like the OEM?

i bought these about 2000 miles ago and went from squealing, massively dusty OEM brake pads to quiet and practically no dust on my '07 vantage coupe.
