EBC 06-09 Ford Fusion 2.3 Redstuff Front Brake Pads

If you're looking to upgrade the stopping power on your 2006-2012 Ford Fusion with the 2.3L engine, these EBC Redstuff ceramic front brake pads are a solid option. They're designed to offer a noticeable improvement over stock pads, especially for drivers who do a lot of highway driving or encounter frequent braking situations. The Redstuff compound is known for its ability to perform well right from a cold start, and its performance actually gets better as the brakes heat up, making them a great choice for spirited driving or repeated heavy braking.

What really sets these pads apart is their low-dust formulation. Unlike many performance pads that create a lot of brake dust, Redstuff pads significantly reduce dust by 60-90 percent. Plus, the dust they do produce is easy to clean off with a simple wash because it doesn't contain steel fibers. This material is a synthetic fiber compound enhanced with ceramic particles, which not only reduces dust but also provides better braking and quieter operation compared to older Redstuff compounds. They are built to last and are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations, meaning they meet stringent European standards.

Keep in mind that these are a harder-wearing pad, so they require a bit of patience during the break-in period, which can take up to 1000 miles. During this time, the pads need to conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance. EBC includes a Brake-In surface coating that helps condition your rotors and speeds up the pad bed-in process. You can expect these pads to stop your car significantly quicker than OEM pads from higher speeds.
