Stock brake pads on the Fiesta ST tolerate everyday commuting but fade under repeated hard braking and coat your wheels in black dust after a single spirited drive. EBC Redstuff pads replace that compromise with an aramid fiber and ceramic compound that bites harder from cold, holds that bite as temperatures climb, and leaves your wheels dramatically cleaner.
Dramatically lower dust output. Redstuff's aramid and ceramic compound cuts brake dust by 50 to 90 percent compared to semi-metallic pads, and what little residue does appear contains no steel fiber particles, so a simple sponge wash removes it completely. Your wheels stay presentable even after aggressive street use.
Stronger stopping from the first press. Tested at the UK Motor Industries Research Association in witnessed conditions, Redstuff reduced stopping distance by nearly 50 feet from 100 mph, representing a 30 percent brake improvement over OEM pads. A nominal friction coefficient of 0.5 and a high-friction formula that improves brake effect by 15 percent back up that real-world result.
EBC Brake-In surface coating. Each pad ships with EBC's red Brake-In coating already applied to the friction surface. That coating conditions the rotor and jump-starts pad bed-in so braking is safe and effective immediately after installation, before the full bed-in process completes. Full bed-in on this hard-wearing compound can take up to 1,000 miles as the pad conforms to the disc surface.
Engineered for repeated heavy use. The aramid and ceramic formula resists brake fall-off during back-to-back hard stops, making these pads equally at home on a fast B-road run or a track day warm-up lap. Minimal disc wear characteristics protect your rotors alongside the pad compound itself.
NRS mechanical retention. Backplates feature Nucap NRS hooks that mechanically anchor the friction material to the steel plate, eliminating any risk of pad delamination under sustained high heat.
Product Benefits
- 50-90% Dust Reduction: Aramid and ceramic compound sheds far less dust than semi-metallic pads, with no steel fiber particles in the residue.
- 30% Brake Improvement: MIRA-witnessed tests show nearly 50 fewer feet of stopping distance from 100 mph versus OEM pads.
- 15% Higher Friction Effect: High-friction formula improves brake effect over stock at street and elevated temperatures.
- Brake-In Coating: Factory-applied red surface treatment conditions rotors and provides safe braking immediately after installation.
- ECE R90 Approved: Meets European brake safety regulation standards for passenger car applications.
- NRS Backplate Hooks: Nucap mechanical retention eliminates pad debond risk during high-heat use.
- Fade-Resistant Compound: Maintains consistent pedal feel and braking force through repeated hard stops.
- Front Fitment, 2013-2019 Fiesta 1.6 Turbo ST: Direct-fit replacement with no modifications required.
