EBC 04-06 Saab 9-2X 2.0 Turbo Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

These EBC Redstuff brake pads use a synthetic fiber compound enhanced with ceramic particles, which is a notable change from older Redstuff materials. This updated compound is designed to offer improved braking performance, especially during repeated heavy braking on fast roads, while also being quieter and lasting longer than previous versions. The material is a hard-wearing pad, so it's important to be patient during the bed-in period, which can take up to 1000 miles, allowing the pad to conform to the shape of your brake rotor for optimal contact. You can expect significantly less dust compared to semi-metallic pads, and the minimal dust produced is easy to clean as it doesn't contain steel fibers. This makes them a popular choice for European vehicles and premium sedans looking for a cleaner look and better performance right from cold.

The Redstuff pads are built to perform well even when cold, and their effectiveness increases as they heat up. They are proven to stop passenger cars quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph. EBC includes their Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition the rotor surface and speeds up the pad bed-in process. This compound has a nominal friction coefficient of 0.5 and aims for a dust reduction of approximately 50 percent, with many EBC Red Ceramic pads meeting ECE R90 brake safety regulations.
