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

These Redstuff pads have a harder wearing compound, so the bed-in process can take up to 1000 miles. It's important to be patient during this period to allow the pads to fully conform to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance.

What makes the dust from these pads easier to clean?

The Redstuff compound is a synthetic fiber-based material enhanced with ceramic particles, and it does not contain steel fiber particles found in many other pads. This means the minimal dust produced is less likely to bake onto your wheels and can be removed with a simple wash.

Are these pads suitable for track use?

While these pads are excellent for repeated heavy braking on the street and fast road driving, they are not specifically designed for sustained track use. For dedicated track applications, EBC offers different pad compounds.

Product Details

You're looking at a set of EBC Redstuff ceramic brake pads, designed specifically for your 2009-2017 Audi A5 Quattro. These pads are a popular choice for drivers who want a cleaner look for their wheels and a noticeable improvement in braking performance, especially during spirited driving.

What sets these Redstuff pads apart is their ceramic-based compound, which significantly cuts down on dust – often by 60-90 percent compared to standard pads. The dust that is produced is also easier to clean, as it doesn't contain steel fibers that can bake onto your wheels. They also offer strong braking right from a cold start, and their performance continues to improve as they warm up, making them great for repeated heavy braking situations. EBC includes a Brake-In surface coating to help condition your rotors and speed up the pad bedding process, which can take up to 1000 miles for these harder-wearing pads to fully seat to your discs.

These pads are a solid option for a fast street setup or as a premium upgrade for European sedans. Remember that due to their harder compound, patience is key during the initial break-in period to ensure they mate properly with your rotors for optimal performance.
