EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads
2004–2006 Scion xA / xB
DP31459C
Overview:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models, delivering a high-performance braking solution tailored for fast street driving and prestige import vehicles. These pads are designed to provide exceptional stopping power with significantly reduced brake dust, making them an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking improved braking performance without the mess of traditional pads.
Built to outperform standard OEM brake pads, the Redstuff pads offer a superior friction level and excellent heat resistance, ensuring consistent braking performance even under demanding conditions. Whether you are navigating city streets or spirited weekend drives, these pads provide reliable, fade-resistant braking with minimal noise and dust.
Key Features:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads combine advanced materials and innovative design to deliver outstanding braking performance and cleanliness. Key features include:
- Lowest dust rating in the high-performance pad range, reducing brake dust by 60-90%
- Kevlar® fiber-based compound enhanced with ceramic particles for superior friction and durability
- High friction coefficient of approximately 0.5 for strong, consistent stopping power
- Low heat fade characteristics to maintain performance during repeated heavy braking
- Brake-In surface coating that conditions the rotor and accelerates pad bed-in
- Minimal noise and vibration due to advanced compound formulation
- Proven to reduce stopping distances by up to 13 meters from 100 mph compared to OEM pads
- Meets or exceeds ECE R90 brake safety regulations for peace of mind
Construction & Design:
The Redstuff pads utilize a Kevlar® fiber-based friction material combined with ceramic particles, creating a compound that is both hard-wearing and highly effective at heat dissipation. This advanced formulation ensures longer pad life and quieter operation compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Unlike many other performance pads, Redstuff contains no steel fibers, which significantly reduces brake dust and makes cleanup easier.
The pads are engineered to bed-in gradually, with an expected break-in period of up to 1,000 miles. This allows the pads to conform perfectly to the brake rotor surface, optimizing contact and performance over time. The inclusion of EBC’s Brake-In coating further enhances this process by preparing the rotor surface for improved pad adhesion and longevity.
Performance & Sound
EBC Redstuff pads deliver immediate strong braking performance from cold, matching or exceeding the feel of original equipment pads. As the pads heat up during use, their friction improves, providing confident stopping power even under repeated heavy braking scenarios. The ceramic-enhanced compound also helps minimize brake fade, ensuring consistent pedal feel and safety.
In addition to performance, these pads are designed for quiet operation with reduced noise and vibration. The absence of steel fibers and the advanced compound formulation contribute to a cleaner, quieter braking experience without compromising stopping power.
Installation & Fitment:
The EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads are a direct fit replacement for the front brakes of 2004–2006 Scion xA and xB models. Installation requires no modifications and can be performed using standard brake service procedures. For optimal performance, it is recommended to follow the proper bed-in process during the initial 1,000 miles to ensure the pads and rotors mate correctly.
What's Included:
- One pair of front brake pads (left and right sides)
- Brake-In surface coating applied to pad backing
Ideal For:
These brake pads are ideal for Scion xA and xB owners who demand enhanced braking performance for fast street driving and spirited daily use. They are especially suited for drivers who want to reduce brake dust and maintain a cleaner wheel appearance without sacrificing stopping power. Enthusiasts looking for a reliable, fade-resistant pad that performs well in both city and highway conditions will find the Redstuff pads an excellent upgrade over OEM components.
