Product Information

Full details

The EBC Redstuff DP32133C rear brake pads are designed for drivers of prestige and faster cars (above 200BHP) seeking enhanced stopping power. Their key benefit is a significant improvement in braking performance, reducing stopping distances by up to 50 feet from 100 MPH. A caveat is that these pads have a harder compound and require a longer break-in period (up to 1500 miles/2500 Kms of urban use) to reach optimal performance, during which stopping distances may be slightly longer. These pads feature a Kevlar fibre-based compound enhanced with ceramic particles for durability, quiet operation, and minimal, easily removable dust.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'Redstuff' refer to?

Redstuff is EBC's flagship street brake pad material for performance vehicles, known for its excellent braking performance, low dust, and durability.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period for EBC Redstuff pads can take up to 1500 miles (approximately 2500 Kms) of urban driving to achieve their maximum performance. During this time, stopping distances may be slightly longer.

Are these pads suitable for track days?

EBC Redstuff pads are primarily designed for high-performance street use. While they offer significant improvements, they may not be ideal for sustained track abuse where extreme temperatures are consistently generated. For track-focused applications, consider EBC's Yellowstuff or Bluestuff lines.

How do I clean the brake dust from my wheels?

The dust produced by Redstuff pads is very fine and easily removed. A simple wash with a sponge and water is usually sufficient, as they do not contain steel fibres that can cause stubborn residue.

What is the benefit of the ceramic particle enhancement?

The ceramic particles in the compound contribute to the pads' durability, improve braking performance, reduce noise, and help in achieving the low-dust characteristics.

Can I use these pads on the front of my car?

No, the EBC DP32133C is specifically designed as a *rear* brake pad. You would need to find the corresponding front brake pad set (e.g., DP31524C) for your vehicle's front axle.

What is the MPN for this product?

The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this specific product is DP32133C.

Troubleshooting

Reduced braking performance during initial use

This is normal during the break-in period (up to 1500 miles/2500 Kms). Continue driving normally to allow the pads to fully bed in with the rotors. Avoid hard braking during this period.

Slightly longer stopping distances during break-in

As mentioned above, this is expected while the pads are new. Aggressive braking during this phase can negatively affect performance. Allow the bedding-in process to complete naturally.

Unusual noises after installation

While Redstuff pads are known for quiet operation, some initial noise can occur. Ensure pads were installed correctly and that rotors are clean and in good condition. If noise persists after the break-in period, consult a mechanic.

Excessive dust despite being low-dust formulation

Ensure the pads are the correct EBC Redstuff model for your vehicle and that they are installed on the correct axle (rear). Check rotor condition and ensure no other contaminants are present.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduced stopping distances.
  • Low dust output that is easy to clean.
  • Durable and long-lasting compound.
  • Quiet operation compared to many performance pads.
  • Suitable for high-performance vehicles.

Cons

  • Requires a longer break-in period (up to 1500 miles/2500 Kms) for optimal performance.
  • Slightly longer stopping distances may be experienced during the initial break-in phase.
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard brake pads.
  • May not be suitable for track use where extreme temperatures are consistently generated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These brake pads are designed as a direct replacement for your vehicle's existing rear brake pads. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper fitment and safety. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended bedding-in procedure to achieve optimal performance and longevity.

Compatibility:

Refer to your vehicle's service manual or consult with a parts specialist to confirm that the EBC Redstuff DP32133C rear brake pad set is compatible with your specific make, model, and year. This particular part number is for rear brake applications.

Care:

Due to the advanced low-dust formulation, minimal cleaning is required. Any light dust residue can be easily removed with a soft brush or a damp sponge and water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the pad material. Regular inspection of brake pads and rotors for wear is recommended.
