Product Description

EBC DP31687C Redstuff Ceramic brake pads provide a premium, low-dust upgrade for rear brakes on select Subaru and Saab models, including the Subaru Forester, Impreza, and Saab 9-2X. Engineered from aramid fiber-reinforced ceramic material, these pads offer strong cold bite and superior stopping power, reducing dust by up to 90% compared to OEM semi-metallic pads.

Designed with beveled edges, center slots, and EBC's brake-in coating, these pads ensure quieter operation and faster bedding. The NRS anti-debonding hooks improve pad durability and prevent material separation under heavy use. Installation is a direct replacement for factory pads on the rear axle, compatible with original equipment vented rotors. ECE R90 homologated, these pads deliver consistent performance for spirited street driving while maintaining rotor life.

Fitment is confirmed through 2008. 2024 and 2025 coverage remains unconfirmed at the time of listing. For balanced braking performance, pairing these rear pads with compatible front pads is recommended.
