EBC 05-08 Pontiac Grand Prix 5.3 Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

EBC is known for making performance brake components, and their Redstuff line is a popular choice for drivers looking for a cleaner, more effective brake pad. If you're driving a 2005-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix and want to upgrade your rear brakes, these Redstuff pads are a solid option.

What makes Redstuff stand out is its low-dust formulation. It cuts down dust significantly, often by 60-90 percent, and the dust it does create is easy to clean off because it doesn't contain steel fibers like many other pads. Plus, they grip well right from a cold start, performing as well as or even better than your original pads, and they continue to improve as they warm up. This material uses a synthetic fiber base with ceramic particles, making it a step up from older Redstuff compounds in terms of longevity, braking performance, and quiet operation.

Keep in mind that these are a harder-wearing pad, so they might need a bedding-in period of up to 1000 miles to fully conform to your rotors. Once bedded, they offer impressive stopping power for spirited driving and repeated heavy braking. They've been shown to stop passenger cars significantly quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph. These pads also feature EBC's Brake-In surface coating to help condition your rotor surface and speed up the bedding process.
