How long does it take to break in these EBC Redstuff brake pads?

The break-in period for EBC Redstuff pads can be as long as 1000 miles. It's important to be patient during this time as the pads conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance.

What makes the dust from these pads easier to clean?

The dust produced by these Redstuff pads does not contain steel fiber particles, which are common in other brake pads. This makes the minimal dust that is generated much easier to remove with a simple wash.

Are these pads suitable for everyday driving or just track use?

These EBC Redstuff pads are classified as a fast street pad. They offer improved performance for repeated heavy braking situations and are a great upgrade for premium sedans, but they are not intended for track-only use.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your 2000-2003 Audi A8 Quattro, these EBC Redstuff front brake pads are a solid option. They're designed to offer a noticeable improvement over stock pads, especially for drivers who frequently encounter situations requiring repeated heavy braking. The Redstuff compound is a synthetic fiber-based material enhanced with ceramic particles, which helps it perform well right from cold and continue to improve as they warm up.

One of the standout features of these pads is their significantly reduced dust output, often by 60-90 percent compared to other pads. The minimal dust produced is also easier to clean, as it doesn't contain steel fibers. While they offer strong performance, it's important to be patient during the break-in period, which can take up to 1000 miles. During this time, the pads conform to the shape of your rotors, ensuring optimal contact and performance. This material is known for its longevity and quiet operation, making it a great choice for a fast street application.

These pads are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations, a standard for brake safety in Europe. They also feature EBC's Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition your rotors and speed up the pad bed-in process. You can expect a nominal friction coefficient of around 0.5, and they've been shown to stop passenger cars significantly quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph.
