Stock brake pads on the 2013-2014 Mustang GT500 5.8L leave performance on the table during repeated heavy braking, and they coat your wheels in dark, stubborn dust in the process. EBC Redstuff front brake pads solve both problems with an aramid fiber and ceramic compound that stops harder, runs cleaner, and holds up through repeated aggressive use.
Dramatically less brake dust. Redstuff reduces wheel dust by 60 to 90 percent compared to semi-metallic compounds. The minimal residue that does accumulate contains no steel fiber particles, so a simple sponge wash clears it completely without scrubbing or wheel cleaners.
Immediate cold bite that builds with heat. These pads grip from the first application, matching or exceeding OEM stopping power when cold. As temperatures rise through repeated braking, friction improves rather than fading, making Redstuff a reliable choice for spirited street driving and canyon runs where brake fall-off is not an option.
Aramid fiber and ceramic construction. The aramid fiber base provides structural durability under sustained heat, while ceramic particles enhance friction consistency and minimize rotor wear. EBC rates the nominal friction coefficient at 0.5, and independent testing at the UK Motor Industries Research Association demonstrated a stopping distance reduction of nearly 50 feet from 100 mph, a figure that represents roughly a 30 percent brake improvement over OEM pads.
EBC Brake-In surface coating. Every pad ships with EBC's proprietary red Brake-In coating pre-applied to the friction surface. This coating conditions the rotor surface on first use and accelerates the bed-in process, so the pads deliver safe, consistent stopping power immediately after installation. Full bed-in with this hard-wearing compound can take up to 1,000 miles as the pad conforms to the rotor profile.
Nucap NRS mechanical retention. EBC integrates Nucap NRS hooks directly into the backplate, mechanically anchoring the friction material to the steel backing. This eliminates any risk of pad delamination or debond under high-stress braking conditions.
