EBC 83-93 Ford Mustang 2.3 (Rear Rotors) Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your 1983-1993 Ford Mustang, especially if you have the 2.3L engine, these EBC Redstuff rear brake pads are a solid option. They're designed to offer a noticeable improvement over stock pads, particularly for drivers who do a lot of spirited driving or frequent heavy braking. The Redstuff compound is known for its ability to reduce dust significantly, often by 60-90 percent, and the dust that is produced is easier to clean because it doesn't contain steel fibers.

What's really impressive is how well these pads perform right from a cold start. They offer braking power comparable to or better than original equipment pads, and this performance only gets stronger as they warm up. This synthetic fiber-based compound, enhanced with ceramic particles, provides a high friction coefficient of 0.5. EBC also includes a Brake-In surface coating that helps condition your rotors and speeds up the initial bed-in process, which can take up to 1000 miles for these harder-wearing pads to fully seat against the rotor surface. This makes them a great choice for fast road use and a popular upgrade for European vehicles, though they work very well on American muscle too.

Because these are a harder-wearing pad, patience during the bed-in period is key to achieving their best performance. Once properly bedded, you can expect significantly improved stopping distances, with EBC claiming they can stop a passenger car up to 13 meters quicker from 100 mph compared to OEM pads. They are also approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations, meaning they meet stringent European standards.
