How long does it take for these EBC Redstuff pads to fully break in?

Because the Redstuff compound is a harder-wearing material, it can take up to 1000 miles to fully bed in. During this time, the pad material needs to conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance. Be patient during this period.

Will these pads create a lot of brake dust?

No, these Redstuff pads are known for being the lowest dust option EBC offers. They reduce dust by 60-90 percent compared to many other pads, and the minimal dust produced is easier to clean as it contains no steel fiber particles.

Are these brake pads street legal and safe for everyday driving?

Yes, most EBC Red Ceramic pads are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulation, which is a European standard for brake safety. They are designed for fast street use and offer improved stopping power over OEM pads.

Product Details

You're looking at a set of EBC Redstuff front brake pads, designed specifically for your 2008-2019 Cadillac CTS with the 3.6L engine and 315mm rear rotors. These pads are a popular choice for drivers who want a cleaner wheel appearance and more confident braking, especially during spirited driving or repeated stops.

What sets these Redstuff pads apart is their unique ceramic-based compound. Unlike traditional semi-metallic pads, they generate significantly less dust – often reducing it by 60-90 percent. The dust that is produced is also easier to clean, as it doesn't contain steel fibers that can embed into your wheels. Beyond the clean factor, these pads offer strong braking performance right from a cold start and continue to perform well as they heat up, making them a solid option for fast street driving. They've been shown to stop passenger cars quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph.

It's worth noting that because these are a harder-wearing pad, they can take up to 1000 miles to fully bed in. Patience during this period is key, as the pad material needs to conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance. EBC includes a Brake-In surface coating to help condition the rotor surface and speed up this process.
