EBC DP3517C Redstuff Front Brake Pads for 1986-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet 1.8

it brakes better and is quieter. Being a hard wearing pad, bed-in times can be as long as 1000 miles and drivers must be patient until the pad takes up the shape of their disc (brake rotor). This is a truly impressive fast road pad for repeated heavy braking.It emits far less dust than semi-metallic pads and has been proven to stop a passenger car/sedan/sport compact/hot hatch 13 metres quicker than OEM pads from 100mph/160kph. Features EBC Brake-In surface coating which conditions rotor surface and accelerates pad bed-in. Nominal friction coefficient 0.5 with approx. 50-percent dust reduction.Most EBC Red Ceramic pads are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulation. Pad Dimensions: 138 x 49 x 15mm

• Great For Fast Street And Premium Sedan
• Ideal European Vehicle Brake Upgrade
• High Friction Low Heat Fade
• Lowest Dust Pad In Range

Brief Description: EBC DP3517C Redstuff front brake pads are a high-friction street performance upgrade for the 1986-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet 1.8. Designed for fast street driving, premium sedans, and European vehicle applications, these ceramic brake pads deliver strong stopping power, reduced brake dust, and quieter operation than many conventional semi-metallic pads.

The Redstuff compound has a nominal friction coefficient of approximately 0.5 and is engineered to maintain reliable braking performance during repeated heavy stops with high resistance to heat fade. Testing has shown that compatible passenger cars, sedans, sport compacts, and hot hatches can stop up to 13 meters sooner than vehicles equipped with OEM pads when braking from 100 mph. Actual results vary by vehicle condition, tires, road surface, and driving conditions.

Each pad features EBC Brake-In surface coating to help condition the brake rotor and accelerate the bedding process. Because Redstuff is a hard-wearing performance compound, full bedding may require as many as 1,000 miles. Drivers should allow sufficient time for the pads to conform to the rotor surface and reach optimum performance. The compound produces approximately 50 percent less dust than comparable semi-metallic pads, while most EBC Red Ceramic pads are approved to the ECE R90 brake safety regulation.
