If this has been covered I apologize in advance. I have a new gen vantage with terribly squeaky brakes. I've had other high performance cars with regular and carbon ceramic and i've had some squeaking but this is by far the worst. I've read online the stock pads are known to do this. I'm going to replace my pads while I have the calipers powder coated so i'm looking for suggestions on pads that will reduce or eliminate the insane squeaking i'm getting. Thanks!

Suggestions i've seen online are for Porterfield R4 but again, open to suggestions.

 

had terrible squealing on my 11,000 mile 2007 8v8 when i bought it. so i installed EBC pads with a little copper grease on the backside of each. haven't had a problem since. the pads i replaced were original OEM pads from 2007.

 

It seems that you can switch the Porterfields via Redpants as he has them made with a chamfered edge which reduces squeal, or you can go out on the highway and find a safe spot to do a few consecutive hard stops from 80/90mph to re-bed things. It has nothing to do with grease/shims/etc.

 

You can buy them directly from Porterfield and they have a chamfered edge on them already. May need new wear sensors if the original ones may be fragile upon removal.

 

I am with @volvodrummer; try few rounds of excessive braking and see where you are. Always worked for me.
