EBC Redstuff Ceramic Brake Pads
Engineered by EBC Brakes, a global leader in braking technology, these pads are the definitive choice for enthusiasts demanding superior stopping power, minimal dust, and long-lasting performance. Backed by rigorous testing and ECE R90 certification, Redstuff pads outperform OEM and other aftermarket options, making them the top choice for discerning drivers.
Why EBC
- Stopping Power: Redstuff pads deliver a 15-30% brake improvement, reducing stopping distances by up to 50 feet from 100 MPH, as proven in UK Motor Industries Research Association (MIRA) tests. Their high-friction formula ensures confident braking from cold and improves with heat, rivaling even aggressive track pads.
- Lowest Dust: With an 80% reduction in dust compared to OEM pads, Redstuff keeps your wheels cleaner for weeks. The aramid fiber and ceramic particle compound eliminates steel fibers, allowing easy sponge washing without wheel etching.
- Longevity: Designed for durability, Redstuff pads minimize rotor wear, extending the life of both pads and rotors.
- Silent Operation: Fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted, these pads reduce noise and vibration. The patented EBC Brake-In™ coating accelerates bedding-in, ensuring quiet, smooth braking after just 500-1000 miles.
- Performance: Ideal for high-performance street driving, Redstuff pads excel in repeated heavy braking without fade, making them perfect for spirited drives in cars with 200+ BHP, like the BMW M3, Mitsubishi Evo, or Camaro SS.
- ECE R90 Approved: Certified for road use, Redstuff pads meet stringent safety standards, offering peace of mind for daily and performance driving.
Included
- One Set of EBC Redstuff Ceramic Brake Pads (DP3006C): Four pads (two per side) for front axle.
- EBC Brake-In™ Surface Coating: Pre-applied for faster bedding-in and immediate safe braking.
- Caliper Lubricant: Included to ensure smooth installation and operation.
- Racing Stickers and Manual: Enhances your pride in owning EBC’s premium product.
- Packaging: Securely packed in a box measuring 6.7 x 4 x 3.8 inches, weighing approximately 5 lbs.
- Manufacturer’s Warranty: Minimum 2-year warranty, with support directly from EBC Brakes
Fitment
- BMW: 3 Series (E36) M3 (1992-1999)
- Mitsubishi: Lancer Evolution V-VI (1998-2001)
- Subaru: Impreza WRX (1994-2000)
- Honda: Prelude (1992-2001)
- Other Models: Various high-HP imports, muscle cars, and European sedans with compatible caliper designs. Check EBC’s official fitment tool for additional makes and models.
Note: Not suitable for trucks, SUVs, or track use (consider EBC Yellowstuff or Bluestuff for track applications).
Performance Comparison:
- Vs. OEM Pads: Redstuff stops 13 meters quicker from 100 MPH, produces 80% less dust, and lasts longer with minimal rotor wear. OEM pads often suffer from excessive dust and fade under heavy use.
- Vs. Other Ceramic Pads: Unlike brands like Hawk or Akebono, Redstuff’s aramid fiber and ceramic granule blend offers superior cold bite, quieter operation, and lower dust. Users report less squealing and better modulation than Brembo or Ferodo DS2500 pads.
- Vs. EBC Greenstuff/Yellowstuff: Redstuff outperforms Greenstuff by 50% in bite and is quieter, while Yellowstuff is better suited for track use but dustier and noisier on the street.
Installation and Bedding-In
- Installation: Direct OEM replacement, no modifications needed. Use included lubricant for caliper pins and ensure proper hardware (not included) for optimal fitment.
- Bedding-In: Drive cautiously for 300-400 miles to allow pads to conform to rotors. Expect minimal dust and occasional chirping during this period, which fades as pads bed in. Follow EBC’s bedding procedure for best results.
- Pairing: For optimal performance, pair with EBC USR slotted rotors or OEM-style discs for balanced wear and silent braking.
Brake Pads
Brake pads are the most frequently replaced brake component, and upgrading from stock pads delivers immediate improvements in stopping distance, pedal feel, and fade resistance. From daily-driver ceramic pads to track-spec metallic compounds, there is a brake pad for every application. Popular ProductsTop brake pad brands include EBC Brakes, Hawk Performance, StopTech, and Akebono. Popular compound choices include ceramic pads for low dust and quiet operation, semi-metallic for improved bite, and full metallic for track use. What brake pad compound should I choose?Ceramic pads are best for street use, offering low dust, quiet operation, and good bite. Semi-metallic pads add more stopping power at the cost of more dust. Full metallic and racing compounds are reserved for track use where extreme heat resistance is needed. How do I know when brake pads need replacement?Most brake pads include a wear indicator that creates a squealing sound when pad thickness reaches the minimum limit. ...
