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

These pads have a hard-wearing compound and can take up to 1000 miles to fully bed in. It's important to be patient during this period until the pad material conforms to the shape of your brake rotors for optimal performance.

What makes the dust from these pads easier to clean?

The Redstuff pads use a synthetic fiber-based compound enhanced with ceramic particles, which produces significantly less dust than traditional semi-metallic pads. The minimal dust generated does not contain steel fiber particles, making it easier to remove with a simple wash.

Are these pads suitable for daily driving or just track use?

These Redstuff pads are considered a fast road pad, meaning they perform very well during daily driving and are also capable of handling repeated heavy braking situations. They offer improved stopping power over OEM pads from cold and get even better as they heat up.

About this part

Product Details

EBC is well-known for making brake components that perform well on the street. These Redstuff ceramic pads are a great example, designed to give your 2015-2020 Audi S3 a noticeable improvement in stopping power, especially for fast road driving.

What sets these pads apart is how little dust they produce – often 60-90 percent less than stock, and the dust that does form is easy to clean. They also offer strong braking right from a cold start, and that performance only gets better as they warm up. The ceramic fiber compound with ceramic particles means they last longer, brake better, and run quieter than older versions of Redstuff. They're built for repeated heavy braking, and while they might take up to 1000 miles to fully bed in, the patience pays off with a solid, consistent feel. They've been shown to stop cars quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph.

These pads come with EBC's Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition your rotors and speeds up the bedding process. They are a popular choice for European vehicles looking for a solid upgrade over stock.
