EBC 04-08 Porsche Boxster (Cast Iron Rotors only) 2.7 Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

If you're looking to improve your Porsche Boxster's braking performance without the usual mess of brake dust, EBC's Redstuff ceramic pads are a solid option. These pads are designed for fast street driving and are a popular upgrade for European vehicles, especially when you're dealing with cast iron rotors. They aim to reduce dust significantly, often by 60-90 percent, and the dust that is produced is easier to clean because it doesn't contain steel fibers like many other pads.

What's really notable about these Redstuff pads is how well they work right from a cold start, performing as well as or even better than original equipment pads. As they warm up, their braking power continues to improve, making them suitable for repeated heavy braking situations. The material is a synthetic fiber compound with ceramic particles, which EBC states lasts longer, brakes better, and runs quieter than their older Redstuff compounds. They do require a patient break-in period, potentially up to 1000 miles, to allow the pad material to fully conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance.

This specific set is for the rear of your Boxster and is designed for use with cast iron rotors. EBC includes their Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition the rotor surface and speeds up the pad bed-in process. You can expect a nominal friction coefficient of around 0.5 with these pads.
