Product Description

The EBC DP31515C Redstuff Ceramic brake pads are purpose-built for the Porsche 911 996 and 997 generations, covering a wide range of trims from the base Carrera to the high-output GT2 RS, Turbo S, and GT3 RS 4.0 - all on cast iron rotor setups. Using an aramid fiber base enhanced with ceramic particles, these pads provide immediate, confident stopping power from cold while dramatically reducing the brake dust that accumulates on high-end alloy wheels.

Designed as a direct OEM front replacement, the DP31515C installs without modification on vehicles with stock cast iron rotors and delivers a noticeable upgrade in braking feel and cleanliness over factory pads. The included Brake-In surface coating accelerates bedding and Nucap NRS hooks ensure long-term pad integrity. Ideal for performance-minded Porsche drivers who prioritize clean wheels, quiet operation, and reliable street braking without compromising the 911's legendary driving character.
