Product Description

The EBC DP33018C Redstuff Ceramic Rear Brake Pads are engineered for Acura RLX, MDX, and TLX owners who want cleaner wheels and confident stopping without sacrificing daily drivability. Built on an aramid fiber base infused with ceramic particles, these pads deliver a firm, progressive pedal feel and strong cold bite from the very first stop. The proprietary EBC Brake-In coating pre-conditions the rotor surface at installation, helping shorten the break-in period and bringing performance up to peak levels sooner.

Compatible with Electric Parking Brake-equipped variants across the RLX, MDX, and TLX lineup, the DP33018C drops directly onto OEM rear calipers with no modifications required. Containing zero steel fiber, these pads produce dramatically less dust than conventional semi-metallic compounds - and any residual dust washes off easily with water. The hard ceramic formulation also reduces rotor abrasion significantly, helping extend disc life and lower overall braking system maintenance costs over time.
