DB11 Brakes

I am looking for some brake pad options for 2018 DB11 V12. Searches didn't come up with any real answers.

Anyone know of any suppliers out there with brake pads available? Could either be street or race, but mostly focusing on a street use pad.

Thanks

Porterfield Brakes are listing R4S pads for both the front and rear of your DB11.
AP1990 and AP 1165...but you should double check as they don't specifically state V12; and I don't know if the V8 uses the same brakes.
Have been using their R4-S pads for years on my early Vantage-highly recommended.
And welcome to the Aston Martin side of the British forums .

Hi Don,

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the info.

I did go to their site. I am seeing info for the DB11 that doesn't clearly state their pads will work. In fact, on that page for DB11 it actually lists pads for a DB9 04-16, but no mention of DB11; unless the pads are the same as DB9s. These are for the rears. The fronts (next item down) does seem to say DB11, but no clarification whether there is a difference for the V12.

Then in the next paragraph, it lists DISCs and there the DB11 is listed, so confusing. I sent a message to them hoping to get clarification.

Good to hear an endorsement for them from a member

All the Best,

Copied the information from their site and attached as a pdf.
As you can see, no clarification on V8 or V12 applications.
But as the Rapide is a V12...

Hi Don, and Stuart

Just heard from Porterfield. They said the rear pads listed are correct for the DB11 and admitted it was confusing after they read the description again.

Stuart - I'll let you know if I go in this direction.

Thanks to both for helpful info.
