Product Description

The EBC DP31162C Redstuff front brake pads deliver a significant upgrade to stopping power for high-performance GM vehicles like Corvette (C5/C6, including Z06/ZR1/Grand Sport), Cadillac XLR/V, and Pontiac GTO from 1997 to 2013. Featuring a ceramic-enhanced compound, these pads offer 20-25% better braking over stock, combined with ultra-low dust output and a robust anti-corrosion backing coat. The Brake-In surface ensures fast bedding-in and consistent performance from day one.

Although they're not intended for track use, Redstuff pads withstand repeated heavy braking on the street, with fade resistance up to 500 °C and peaks to 650 °C. Installation is direct - no sensors or hardware required, though caliper lubrication is recommended. Enjoy improved pedal feel, quieter operation, cleaner wheels, and enhanced stopping power while retaining DOT compliance courtesy of ECE R90 certification.
