EBC 99-01 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo (B5) Redstuff Front Brake Pads

When you're looking to replace the front brake pads on your 1998-2002 Audi A6 Quattro, you'll get a set of EBC Redstuff Ceramic pads. These pads are designed to reduce dust significantly, cutting down on the amount of brake dust that ends up on your wheels. They also offer improved stopping performance, even when cold, and get even better as they warm up, making them a solid option for daily driving and spirited road use.

The Redstuff material is a synthetic fiber compound with ceramic particles, which means it doesn't contain steel fibers like many other pads. This not only helps with the low dust characteristic but also means the dust is easier to clean off. While these pads are built for performance, they do require a patient break-in period, potentially up to 1000 miles, to fully conform to your rotors. This bedding-in process is important for optimal performance and longevity. They've been shown to stop passenger cars quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph, and they include EBC's Brake-In surface coating to help condition your rotors and speed up the pad bed-in process.

This set is a popular choice for European vehicles and is approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations, meaning they meet stringent European standards. Remember that proper bedding-in is key to getting the best out of these pads.
