Brake Pads

I know this topic has been covered ad nauseam in the past, but I couldn't find one thread dedicated to it.

I'm planning on getting new brake pads for my 2010 V8 Vantage. My current gripe with the stock pads is the amount of brake dust generated and the squeaking that happens once they're warmed up.

For those who have switched to a different pad, I'm curious what you'd recommend. I don't do track days with my car, just road trips, highway and around-town driving.

I went with Porterfield Pads you can get them from VelocityAP - they have very low dust

You're right...this topic has been covered ad nauseam...
Porterfield is what I've been running the past 7 years. also look at Brembo discs instead of Aston branded... they are the same
