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

EBC recommends a break-in period of up to 1000 miles for these hard-wearing pads. During this time, the pads need to fully conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance.

What makes the brake dust from these pads easier to clean?

Unlike many other brake pads, EBC Redstuff pads do not contain steel fiber particles. This means the minimal dust they do produce is less likely to bake onto your wheels and can be removed with a simple wash.

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

These pads are designed as a fast street pad, offering improved stopping power and reduced dust for everyday driving. They are well-suited for repeated heavy braking scenarios encountered on the road.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to keep your 2001-2003 Audi S8's wheels cleaner and improve your stopping power, these EBC Redstuff ceramic brake pads are a solid option. They're designed to significantly cut down on brake dust, reducing it by as much as 90 percent compared to standard pads. The minimal dust that is produced is also easier to clean because it doesn't contain steel fibers like many other pads.

Beyond the dust reduction, these pads offer a notable improvement in braking performance. They provide strong stopping power right from a cold start, and this performance only gets better as they warm up, making them ideal for spirited driving on the street. The ceramic-enhanced synthetic fiber compound is built for repeated heavy braking, and EBC includes a special Brake-In surface coating that helps condition your rotors and speed up the pad bedding process. While they are a hard-wearing pad, be patient during the initial break-in period, which can take up to 1000 miles for the pads to fully conform to your brake rotors.

These pads are a popular choice for European vehicles and are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations, meaning they meet stringent European standards. For best results, ensure your brake rotors are in good condition before installation.
