Just need to go bigger discs mate 
nothing wrong with the callipers I've got 406 brembos on mine with 330mm rotors and bells and not a hint of a noise ever..... The pads in Aaron's setup have just come out of mine as I've upgraded to ds2500's but they made 0 noise before.
Yes the offset isn't perfect with the xantia discs but we shaved a tiny amount off the calliper mounting points to even it up.
Had a 406coupe in for front discs and pads the other day. having looked at the discs the shape is totally different to the xantia ones and is very similar to the design of discs on the front of my Leon (323mm 4 pot brembos use same pad as the 406 callipers)
Personally I think a lot of it is down to the resonance frequency of the disc and the fact that the pads only contact about 2/3-3/4 of the disc surface. The rest towards the centre is left untouched.
We might try machining the unused section off on a lathe see if it makes any difference to noise at all.
Welcome to the OC side mate lol to be fair I'm not on here that often. There's tonnes of knowledgable people on here that pop up with advice pretty quickly so I usually don't bother and there's rarely stuff for sale im interested in.
It's always busy tho and most are friendly
