Construction & Design

The Redstuff brake pads feature a proprietary ceramic friction material that combines low dust output with high thermal efficiency. The pads are precision-engineered to fit the Subaru WRX's front calipers, ensuring a perfect, secure fit for optimal performance. The backing plates are made from durable steel, providing structural integrity and heat dissipation. The friction material is bonded and riveted to the backing plate using advanced manufacturing techniques, ensuring long-lasting performance and resistance to fade.

The design emphasizes consistent brake pedal feel and predictable stopping power, even under demanding conditions. The low dust formulation not only keeps your wheels cleaner but also reduces the potential for disc scoring, extending the lifespan of your rotors and pads alike. These pads are suitable for daily driving, spirited street use, and occasional performance driving, making them a versatile upgrade for your Subaru WRX.

Installation & Fitment

These brake pads are designed as direct replacements for the original equipment, making installation straightforward for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional mechanics. No special tools or modifications are required. The pads bolt directly into the factory calipers, and the process typically involves removing the wheels, caliper, and old pads, then installing the new pads and reassembling. It is recommended to bed-in the new pads according to EBC's instructions to maximize performance and lifespan. No cutting, drilling, or tuning is necessary.
