I think the pads are about twice the size on the 330mm V6, so its fair enough.

It seems like the smaller DS2500 pads don't squeek quite as much as the larger ones, but the majority of people I know who have tried DS2500's with the 3.2v6's 330mm calipers have varying levels of noise irritation, a few with none, but city driving seems to cause it mostly.
It is tolerable if you are prepared to compensate your slow speed stops. DS2500 are good pads though too.
Yeah, that was for the JTD's disks, 284mm disks I think? Same one's as fitted on my 3.2 V6 if I'm not wrong, as it was a 2.5 V6 to begin with not a GTA, so should have the 284mm disks. Currently fitted with tarox sport Japan disks and pads, so much better than stock disks with DS2500s IMO.
