EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads
2005–2010 Scion tC
DP31325C
Overview:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2005 to 2010 Scion tC, delivering exceptional braking performance for drivers seeking a reliable upgrade over standard OEM pads. Designed for fast street driving and prestige import vehicles, these pads offer a unique combination of high friction, low dust output, and excellent heat resistance. Whether you’re navigating daily commutes or spirited drives, the Redstuff pads provide consistent stopping power with minimal brake dust, keeping your wheels cleaner for longer.
Ideal for drivers who demand enhanced braking without compromising on cleanliness or rotor longevity, these pads excel in both performance and durability. They are a perfect fit for the Scion tC, ensuring a direct replacement that maintains factory fitment and safety standards.
Key Features:
These brake pads incorporate advanced materials and design elements to deliver superior braking characteristics. Key features include:
- Lowest dust rating in the EBC range, reducing brake dust by 60-90% compared to conventional pads
- High friction coefficient of approximately 0.5 for strong, reliable stopping power
- Low heat fade for consistent performance during repeated heavy braking
- Kevlar® fiber-based compound enhanced with ceramic particles for improved durability and quieter operation
- Brake-In surface coating that conditions the rotor and accelerates pad bed-in
- Proven to reduce stopping distances by up to 13 meters from 100 mph compared to OEM pads
- Free from steel fiber particles, making dust easier to clean with simple washing
- ECE R90 approved for brake safety compliance on most Red Ceramic pads
Construction & Design:
The EBC Redstuff pads utilize a sophisticated Kevlar® fiber-based friction material enhanced with ceramic particles, resulting in a hard-wearing compound that balances performance with longevity. This advanced formulation produces minimal dust and noise, outperforming traditional semi-metallic pads in both respects. The pads are engineered to withstand the thermal stresses of fast street driving, maintaining consistent friction levels even under high heat conditions.
The brake-in coating on the pad surface helps to prepare the rotor for optimal contact, reducing bed-in time and improving overall braking efficiency. While initial bed-in may take up to 1000 miles, this process ensures the pads conform perfectly to the rotor surface, maximizing performance and pad life.
Performance & Sound
EBC Redstuff pads deliver immediate bite from cold, matching or exceeding the feel of original equipment pads. As the pads warm up, their braking power improves without the common fade experienced by lesser compounds. The ceramic-enhanced material also contributes to quieter braking, reducing the typical squeal and harshness associated with high-performance pads. Drivers will appreciate the smooth, confident pedal feel and the significant reduction in brake dust, which keeps wheels cleaner and reduces maintenance.
Installation & Fitment:
These front brake pads are designed as a direct fit replacement for the 2005–2010 Scion tC, requiring no modifications for installation. They come as a complete pair for both left and right front wheels, making the upgrade straightforward and convenient. For best results, follow EBC’s recommended bed-in procedure to ensure optimal pad-to-rotor contact and maximum braking performance.
What's Included:
- One pair of EBC Redstuff front brake pads (left and right sides)
- Brake-In surface coating applied
Ideal For:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads are perfect for Scion tC owners who want enhanced braking performance for fast street driving, spirited daily use, or premium sedan applications. They suit drivers who prioritize low brake dust, quiet operation, and consistent stopping power without sacrificing pad life or rotor condition. These pads are also well-suited for enthusiasts looking to improve braking confidence during repeated heavy braking scenarios.
