EBC 81-83 Audi 5000 2.1 Turbo Redstuff Front Brake Pads

If you're looking to improve your 1984-1988 Volkswagen Scirocco's braking performance, especially for spirited driving, EBC's Redstuff ceramic pads are a solid option. These pads are designed to offer a noticeable improvement over stock, providing better stopping power right from cold and continuing to perform well as they heat up. They use a synthetic fiber compound enhanced with ceramic particles, which is a step up from older Redstuff compounds, offering longer life, quieter operation, and better braking. A key benefit is the significantly reduced dust output, often by 60-90 percent, and the dust that is produced is easy to clean as it doesn't contain steel fibers.

These pads are a popular choice for fast street use and premium sedans, making them a great upgrade for European vehicles like your Scirocco. They've been proven to stop passenger cars quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph. EBC includes a Brake-In surface coating that helps condition your rotors and speeds up the pad bedding process. Keep in mind that because these are a harder-wearing pad, the bedding-in period can take up to 1000 miles, so patience is key to allow the pads to fully conform to your brake rotors for optimal performance.
