Redstuff Ceramic Brake Pads

The EBC Brakes DP32438C Redstuff Ceramic Low Dust Brake Pads are engineered for performance-oriented vehicles driven aggressively on the street. These rear brake pads feature a unique synthetic fiber-based compound enhanced with ceramic particles, which provides superior stopping power, especially from cold, and continues to perform as temperatures rise. Compared to semi-metallic pads, Redstuff emits significantly less dust, with reductions of 60-90%, and the minimal dust produced is free of steel fibers, making it easy to clean. Building on previous generations, the ceramic compound offers a significant improvement in longevity, braking performance, and quiet operation. While they are a hard-wearing pad, requiring a bed-in period of up to 1000 miles to fully conform to the brake rotor's shape, the result is a truly impressive fast-road pad capable of repeated heavy braking. EBC claims these pads have been proven to stop a passenger car, sedan, sport compact, or hot hatch 13 meters quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph (160 kph). Key specifications include pad dimensions of 115 x 61 x 17mm, a nominal friction coefficient of 0.5, and approximately 50% dust reduction. The pads are ECE R90 approved, ensuring they meet stringent safety regulations. They are designed to work with OEM caliper types and are recommended for performance use, offering a stopping power rating of 3/5 and a noise level of 1/5. These EBC Redstuff brake pads are a direct fit for a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including the 2022-2026 Audi RS3, 2022-2026 Audi S3, 2022-2026 Volkswagen Golf R, and various trims of the 2022-2026 Volkswagen GTI. They come with a 1-year or 10,000-mile factory EBC warranty.
