EBC 12 Hyundai Elantra 1.8 Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

If you're looking to improve your car's stopping power and reduce brake dust, these EBC Redstuff ceramic brake pads are a solid option. They're designed for fast street driving and are a popular upgrade for European vehicles, but they fit a wide range of Hyundai and Kia models, including the Elantra, Optima, and Soul.

What folks really like about Redstuff pads is how little dust they create – up to 90 percent less than standard pads, and the dust that does form is easy to wash off because it doesn't contain steel fibers. They also grab well right from a cold start, performing as well as or even better than original equipment pads, and their performance only gets better as they warm up. This material is a synthetic fiber compound with ceramic particles, offering a significant improvement over older Redstuff compounds in terms of longevity, braking performance, and quiet operation. Just be patient during the break-in period, which can take up to 1000 miles, as the pads need time to conform to your rotors for optimal performance.

These pads are a great choice for repeated heavy braking on the street. They're made to be a hard-wearing pad and are approved by ECE R90 safety regulations. They also feature EBC's Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition your rotors and speeds up the pad bed-in process.
