EBC 17-18 Audi RS3 Redstuff Front Brake Pads

If you're looking to upgrade the stopping power on your Audi RS3, especially for spirited driving, these EBC Redstuff ceramic pads are a solid option. They're designed to give you a noticeable improvement over stock pads, particularly when you need to brake hard repeatedly. The material is a synthetic fiber compound mixed with ceramic particles, which means they work well right from a cold start and get even better as they warm up. This makes them a great choice for fast street driving or for premium sedans where you want dependable braking performance.

One of the biggest reasons people choose Redstuff pads is the significant reduction in dust – often 60-90 percent less than typical semi-metallic pads. The dust that is produced is also easier to clean and doesn't contain steel fibers, so it's less likely to embed into your wheels. While these pads are built for performance, they are a harder-wearing compound. EBC recommends a bed-in period of up to 1000 miles, so be patient and allow the pads to fully conform to your rotors for optimal performance. They've been shown to stop cars quicker than OEM pads from higher speeds, and they're designed to handle repeated heavy braking without fading.

These pads also feature EBC's Brake-In surface coating, which helps condition your rotor surface and speeds up the initial bed-in process. Most EBC Red Ceramic pads meet ECE R90 safety regulations, giving you added confidence in their performance and reliability.
