EBC 05-07 Mercedes-Benz C230 (W203) 2.5 Sport Sedan Redstuff Front Brake Pads

Starting with a synthetic fiber compound enhanced with ceramic particles, these EBC Redstuff pads are built for drivers who want improved stopping power without the usual dust and noise. They offer a nominal friction coefficient of 0.5, which is about 50-percent better than standard pads, and they perform well right from a cold start, getting even better as they heat up. This makes them a solid option for fast street driving and repeated heavy braking situations, especially on premium sedans and European vehicles.

One of the standout features is the significant reduction in dust, 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 impressive performance, it's important to note that these are a hard-wearing pad, and the bed-in process can take up to 1000 miles. During this time, the pad needs to conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance. The pads also come with EBC's Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition the rotor surface and speeds up the initial bed-in period.

These pads fit a range of vehicles, including models like the Mercedes-Benz C230, C280, and C350, as well as the CLK350 and SLK models. They are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations, meaning they meet stringent European standards for braking performance and safety.
