EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads
2011–2016 Scion tC2
DP31792C
Overview:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2011 to 2016 Scion tC2, delivering superior braking performance for drivers who demand more from their vehicle's stopping power. Designed for fast street driving and premium sedans, these pads offer an exceptional balance of high friction and low dust output, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking both performance and cleanliness. Featuring a ceramic-enhanced Kevlar® fiber compound, the Redstuff pads provide consistent braking performance with minimal fade, even under repeated heavy braking conditions.
These pads are perfect for drivers who want improved braking response and longevity without the excessive dust and noise commonly associated with high-performance brake pads. Whether navigating city streets or spirited backroad drives, the EBC Redstuff pads ensure confident, reliable stopping power.
Key Features:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads combine advanced materials and innovative design to deliver outstanding braking characteristics. Key features include:
- Lowest dust rating in the high-performance pad range, reducing brake dust by 60-90% compared to standard pads
- Ceramic-enhanced Kevlar® fiber compound for superior friction and durability
- High friction coefficient of approximately 0.5 for strong, consistent stopping power
- Low heat fade ensures reliable braking performance during extended or aggressive use
- Brake-In surface coating accelerates pad bed-in and conditions the rotor surface
- Quieter operation with no steel fiber particles, minimizing noise and vibration
- Proven to reduce stopping distances by up to 13 meters from 100 mph compared to OEM pads
- Designed for fast street driving and premium import vehicles
Construction & Design:
The Redstuff brake pads utilize a high-quality Kevlar® fiber-based compound enhanced with ceramic particles, providing a significant advancement over previous non-ceramic Redstuff formulations. This combination results in a hard-wearing pad that offers excellent longevity and improved braking performance. The absence of steel fibers reduces dust and noise, while the ceramic particles help maintain stable friction levels and reduce heat buildup during heavy braking.
The pads are engineered to bed-in gradually, with an optimal break-in period of up to 1000 miles to fully conform to the brake rotor surface. This ensures maximum contact and consistent performance over the life of the pads.
Performance & Sound
EBC Redstuff pads deliver immediate strong bite from cold, matching or exceeding the performance of original equipment pads. As the pads heat up, their friction improves, providing enhanced stopping power without the fade commonly experienced with other performance pads. The ceramic compound also contributes to quieter braking, reducing the typical squeal and harshness found in many aftermarket pads.
Additionally, the low dust formulation keeps wheels cleaner, and any dust that does accumulate is easily removed with a simple sponge wash.
Installation & Fitment:
These front brake pads are designed as a direct replacement for the 2011–2016 Scion tC2, fitting both left and right front calipers without modification. Installation follows standard brake pad replacement procedures and can be completed by a professional technician or experienced DIYer. Proper bed-in is recommended to achieve optimal performance and longevity.
What's Included:
- One pair of front brake pads (left and right sides)
- EBC Brake-In surface coating applied
Ideal For:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads are ideal for Scion tC2 owners who want enhanced braking performance for spirited street driving without the drawbacks of excessive dust and noise. They suit drivers of premium import vehicles who demand reliable, fade-resistant stopping power and a cleaner wheel appearance. These pads are also well-suited for enthusiasts who frequently engage in heavy braking scenarios and require durable, consistent brake performance.
