Product Description

The EBC DP31594C Redstuff Ceramic brake pads are engineered for high-performance Volkswagen and Audi VAG-platform vehicles - including the Golf R32, Passat B6 4Motion, CC VR6, Jetta GLI, and Audi A3 Quattro. Built on an aramid fiber base enhanced with ceramic particles, these pads deliver confident cold braking bite comparable to or better than OEM, while dramatically cutting the brake dust that builds up on alloy wheels.

Designed as a direct front OEM replacement, the DP31594C drops in without modification and works with standard OEM front calipers on supported VAG platforms. The red Brake-In coating accelerates pad bedding from first use, while Nucap NRS mechanical hooks ensure long-term pad retention and safety. Ideal for enthusiast drivers who want clean wheels and refined daily braking feel without sacrificing the performance character of their VW or Audi.
