EBC Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

2008–2015 Scion xB (xB2), Scion tC2

DP31947C-xB2

Overview:

The EBC Redstuff Rear Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2008 to 2015 Scion xB (xB2) and Scion tC2 models, delivering exceptional stopping power and reduced brake dust. Designed for drivers who demand high-performance braking on the street, these pads offer a perfect balance of aggressive friction and low noise. Whether you’re navigating city traffic or spirited weekend drives, Redstuff pads provide reliable, fade-resistant braking with minimal dust buildup, keeping your wheels cleaner for longer.

These pads are ideal for enthusiasts seeking an upgrade over OEM components without sacrificing daily drivability or rotor longevity. Featuring a ceramic-enhanced Kevlar fiber compound, they deliver consistent performance from cold stops to heavy braking situations, making them a trusted choice for fast street and premium sedan applications.

Key Features:

EBC Redstuff Rear Brake Pads combine advanced materials and design to meet the demands of performance-oriented drivers. Key features include:

• High friction coefficient of approximately 0.5 for strong, confident stopping power
• Significantly reduced brake dust—up to 60-90% less than typical semi-metallic pads
• Low heat fade characteristics for consistent braking during repeated heavy stops
• Ceramic-enhanced Kevlar fiber compound for improved pad life and quieter operation
• ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval for assured quality and safety
• Includes EBC’s Brake-In surface coating to accelerate pad bed-in and condition rotors
• Hard-wearing material designed for fast street use and premium import vehicles
• Minimal steel fiber content, making dust easier to clean and less abrasive to wheels

Construction & Design:

The Redstuff pads utilize a proprietary Kevlar fiber-based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles, delivering a superior blend of durability, friction, and noise reduction. This advanced formulation outperforms earlier Redstuff versions by offering longer pad life and quieter braking without compromising stopping power. The pads are engineered to withstand high temperatures, reducing brake fade and maintaining consistent performance under demanding conditions.

The absence of steel fibers in the compound means less abrasive dust and easier wheel cleaning, while the robust construction ensures these pads can handle the rigors of fast street driving and repeated heavy braking. The included Brake-In coating further optimizes rotor surface condition, promoting quicker and more effective bedding-in.

Performance & Sound

From the first application, EBC Redstuff pads provide strong initial bite comparable to or better than OEM pads, improving as they reach optimal operating temperature. Their high friction and low heat fade characteristics ensure reliable stopping power even during aggressive driving or extended braking events. Additionally, the ceramic-enhanced compound reduces noise, delivering a quieter braking experience compared to traditional semi-metallic pads.

Testing has shown these pads can reduce stopping distances by up to 13 meters from 100 mph (160 kph) compared to standard OEM pads, making them a significant upgrade for safety and performance.

Installation & Fitment:

These rear brake pads are designed as a direct fit replacement for the 2008–2015 Scion xB (xB2) and Scion tC2 models, requiring no modifications for installation. They come as a complete pair, including both left and right sides, simplifying the upgrade process. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper bedding-in and optimal performance.

What's Included:

• One pair of EBC Redstuff Rear Brake Pads (left and right sides)
• Brake-In surface coating applied for accelerated bed-in

Ideal For:

The EBC Redstuff Rear Brake Pads are perfect for Scion xB and tC owners who want enhanced braking performance for fast street driving, spirited daily use, or premium sedan applications. They suit drivers seeking reduced brake dust, quieter operation, and improved fade resistance without sacrificing rotor life or requiring frequent maintenance.
