Please help with right rotors for 2011 Vantage N420 v8

Need your help with the right rotor selection for my 2011 V8 N420. Are these the right part numbers?
Brembo 09.8780.21 Front ((https://www.brembostoreusa.com/produ...lotted-355mm-n)
Brembo 09.8781.21 Rear

I contacted Brembousa and they pointed me to
https://www.brembostoreusa.com/produ...n-vantage-47-s
Looks like it's for an S model?

Cheers!

I just heard back from Brembo stating they were incorrect and the info I have is right.

Question for you. Did you manage to find the rear rotors anywhere?

I've been looking around for the same thing myself, just in case my rotors end up below the 30 mm (front) and 28 mm (rear) discard thicknesses after I have them resurfaced. Yes, the Brembo part numbers you posted are correct. The original Aston part numbers (for non-S models) are:

4G43-28-10265 front
4G43-28-10266 rear

Scuderiacarparts has the Brembos. Go through the "original parts" section for the V8 Vantage, then click on the rotors. When the part detail page comes up, there is a button that says "Alternative available". See photo below. Click on that and it'll give you the Brembo rotors. You'll have to do the same for the fronts and rears.

All 4 rotors will cost about $330. The biggest kick in the butt, though, is the shipping, which is about $120. Still the least expensive place to get them, though.

@invalidname Brembo told me they will have the rear rotors in a few months.

@Kalepsis That was great info and thank you so much!! But I am confused now about the cheaper one and the more expensive on Scuderia parts. I thought the cheaper one was the stock rotors on the Aston. What is the more expensive "genuine" one supposed to be?

As far as I know they're the ones that come straight from the Aston Martin factory, but I'm not sure what the difference is.

The more expensive "genuine" one is from Aston Martin. The less expensive one is from Brembo.

AFAIK Brembo makes both of them.

As far as I know, Brembo ones are aftermarket ones, they couldn't tell me where are these part made. Very possible it's coming from you know where.( china) and believe me there is big difference on quality. I'd not put any china made brakes on my car, don't care how many QC stamps are on that part...

AFAIK, aston buys brake parts from brembo. and they pay extra to have their name embossed, painted, or labeled 'aston martin' on the product. i doubt if they have any hand in the functional design. i imagine they simply pick the brake parts that they want out of a brembo catalogue in a meeting with aston engineers, ad people, and brembo sales personnel. then aston have their own art department people design boxes and labels and paint schemes and embossing inserts (that may go into a casting) necessary and give it all to the OEM supplier. this is the way my company did business with a major U.S. car manufacturer.

Curios to know where is it made. Does it show where is it manufactured?
