EBC 99-01 Mercedes-Benz C230 (W202) 2.3 Redstuff Front Brake Pads

EBC is well-known for making brake components that perform well on the street. These Redstuff ceramic brake pads are a great example, designed to give your 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 a noticeable upgrade in stopping power and a cleaner look.

What makes these pads stand out is their low-dust formulation. They can reduce dust by 60-90 percent compared to standard pads, and the dust that is produced is easy to clean off because it doesn't contain steel fibers. You'll also notice improved braking right from a cold start, and performance only gets better as they warm up. This ceramic-based compound, enhanced with ceramic particles, offers a nominal friction coefficient of 0.5 and is proven to stop passenger cars significantly quicker than OEM pads from 100 mph. They also feature EBC's Brake-In surface coating to help condition your rotors and speed up the initial bed-in process.

Keep in mind that these are a hard-wearing pad, and the bed-in period can take up to 1000 miles. It's important to be patient during this time to allow the pads to fully conform to your brake rotors. Once bedded in, they provide a solid option for repeated heavy braking on fast road vehicles.
