EBC 76-79 Mercedes-Benz 230 Redstuff Front Brake Pads

If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your classic Mercedes-Benz, these EBC Redstuff ceramic pads are a solid option. They're designed to offer a noticeable improvement over stock pads, especially for fast road driving and premium sedans. You'll find they work well right from cold, and their performance actually gets better as they warm up, making them great for repeated heavy braking situations.

What really sets these pads apart is their low-dust formulation. They emit significantly less dust than traditional semi-metallic pads, and the dust that is produced is easy to clean off because it doesn't contain steel fibers. This means your wheels stay cleaner for longer. The ceramic material is enhanced with ceramic particles for a strong friction coefficient, and EBC includes a special Brake-In surface coating that helps condition your rotors and speed up the pad bedding process. While they offer improved stopping power, remember that these are a harder-wearing pad, and it can take up to 1000 miles for them to fully bed in and conform to your brake rotors.

These pads are a popular choice for European vehicles and are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations, meaning they meet stringent European standards. They fit a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models from the early 70s through the early 90s, including popular cars like the 240D, 300D, and 450SL.
