The V8 has high-performance six-piston front Brembos. Performance brakes aren't quiet. The brakes on my Porsche are noisy, as well. If you want quieter brakes, try swapping out the pads to something less aggressive.
I did exactly that on my V8 - swapped over to R1 concept Ceramic European Series. Can't tell the difference in stopping, but all the noise/squeeling is gone.
Have a 23 Carpathian V8 110 and now at 22k trouble free miles. Brakes never squeak and truck is pretty rattle free. Took off the factory wheels and tires and swapped out for OCTA reps. Perfectly happy and would absolutely buy another.

Those wheels look great!! Which tires did you install on them? I have a 2026 Defender V8 on order (march / april delivery estimated) and those 20s are definitively on my list.
Thank you, your car looks awesome with those wheels and tires. How's the comfort and road noise on regular pavement and were those mudflaps installed at the factory?

The 6 pot Brembo's on my P400 X have never squealed and same for the 6 pot on my wife's SQ7. The 6-pot is not unique to the V8.
They're really cold weather/humidity sensitive which is not an issue here in TX. So it really depends where you live or intend to drive.
