I'm close to purchasing a 2016 Vantage V12s with 17k on the clock. The pads have 8mm thickness remaining. I'm intending to use this car daily doing about 12-14k miles per annum. Does anyone know roughly how much life these pads have left (no track days)? Plus the cost to replace the pads, are these a straightforward DIY job?

There is a thread higher up on the Brembo ceramics link below

I don't know about whether the pads are DIY replacement, can't imagine much different to standard pad fitment but they may need the bedding in procedure carrying out.

Just go ahead and buy it. lovely car to have as a daily.
