EBC 03-04 Mazda Protege 2.0 Turbo (Mazdaspeed) Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

If you're looking to improve your Mazda RX-7's braking performance, especially for spirited driving, these EBC Redstuff rear brake pads are a solid option. They're designed to give you a noticeable improvement over stock pads, particularly when it comes to stopping distance and dust reduction. You'll find they work well right from a cold start and get even better as they warm up, making them great for repeated heavy braking situations on the street.

What sets these pads apart is their unique ceramic-based compound. It's formulated to significantly cut down on dust – EBC claims up to 90% less than many other pads, and the dust that is produced is easier to clean. This means cleaner wheels and less frequent washing. While they are a harder wearing pad and might take a bit longer to fully break in, sometimes up to 1000 miles, the patience pays off with a pad that lasts longer and offers consistent, strong braking. They're also designed to be quieter than many performance pads.

These pads come with EBC's Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition your rotors and speeds up the initial bed-in process. They're a popular choice for fast street driving and European vehicle upgrades, offering a good balance of performance and cleanliness.
