Product Description

The EBC DP31753C Redstuff Ceramic brake pads are engineered for the Acura TL (2009-2014) and TLX (2020-2021), covering both the 3.5L FWD and 3.7L SH-AWD TL variants as well as the turbocharged 2.0L TLX. Built on an aramid fiber base enhanced with ceramic particles, these pads deliver confident cold braking bite on par with or better than OEM, while significantly cutting the brake dust that accumulates on luxury alloy wheels.

A direct front OEM replacement, the DP31753C installs without modification using standard front calipers on all supported Acura platforms. The red Brake-In coating speeds up initial pad bedding, while Nucap NRS mechanical hooks on the backplates ensure long-term pad security. An ideal upgrade for Acura TL and TLX drivers who want cleaner wheels, quieter operation, and upgraded street braking confidence without altering daily drivability.
