The EBC Redstuff Ceramic Low Dust Brake Pads are engineered to deliver superior braking performance with minimal dust production. Crafted from a synthetic fiber-based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles, these pads significantly reduce brake dust by 60-90 percent compared to traditional pads. The result is a cleaner wheel finish and decreased maintenance, as the light dust can be easily wiped away with a simple sponge wash. Unlike other low dust pads that contain steel fiber particles, EBC Redstuff pads contain no steel fibers, making them a cleaner and more environmentally friendly choice. This is especially beneficial for road enthusiasts who seek both performance and cleanliness in their braking system.
These pads are designed to perform right from cold, providing braking power comparable to or better than original equipment manufacturer (OEM) pads. They feature the innovative EBC Brake-In surface coating that conditions the rotor surface and accelerates the bedding process for optimal pad and rotor contact. The pads' friction coefficient of approximately 0.5 ensures consistent performance under various driving conditions. As a hard-wearing pad, they require a bedding-in period of up to 1000 miles, during which drivers should exercise patience to allow the pad to conform perfectly to the disc. Once bedded, these pads offer reliable, repeated heavy braking for spirited driving or daily commuting.
Engineered for safety and compliance, most EBC Redstuff ceramic pads are approved under the ECE R90 brake safety regulation, ensuring they meet strict quality standards. They are proven to stop a passenger vehicle, such as a hot hatch or sedan, approximately 13 meters faster than OEM pads when braking from 100 mph (160 km/h). These front brake pads are designed to fit specific Audi models, including the 2011-2015 Audi A8 Quattro and 2014-2015 Audi SQ5, providing a precise and reliable upgrade for enhanced braking performance and reduced dust emissions. With a dimension of approximately 7.6 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 0.8 inches in height, along with a weight of about 4 ounces, these pads are an ideal choice for drivers seeking a balance of performance, longevity, and cleanliness.
