About ‘Redstuff’ padsEver since EBC introduced this ceramic material in 2003, it has been receiving positive write ups from performance car drivers. Redstuff pads have a friction factor of 0.5 (standard road pads have a friction factor of about 0.3, and Greenstuff has 0.46). They offer a significant improvement in brake performance and superb resistance to high temperature brake fade. Recommended Usage EBC recommend these pads for medium to heavy weight cars, and/or those with over 200bhp. They’re ideal for fast road & track day use. Short warm-up time and amazing stopping power make them the competition pad that can be used for everyday road use too. The ‘Warm-up’ Procedure As you would expect from such a high performance pad Redstuff is designed to operate effectively at higher temperatures. This means that the first use of the brakes in each journey is used to ‘warm-up’ the pads and discs. From there on the pads will remain at their optimum warm temperature. Kinder to Alloy Wheels Redstuff pads cut down between 60-90% of the dust common with most performance pads. They are kinder to alloys and allow wheels to look cleaner & shinier for longer. What’s Included? Pads are always supplied in front or rear sets. Each set includes four individual pads which are enough for a pair of brake calipers. Fitment The pads listed below will fit Saloon, Coupe, Touring and Compact models. IMPORTANT NOTE The front pads listed below are not suitable for very early 318 models (manufactured between 1998-99). For these early 318's please order the front pad for a BMW E36 318!
