Product Description

The EBC DP31211C is a Redstuff front ceramic brake pad set engineered for BMW E36, E46, and Z3 platforms spanning 1992-2005, along with Wiesmann models sharing the same BMW-derived drivetrain. Formulated from an Aramid fiber-based compound enhanced with ceramic particles and containing zero steel fiber, this pad set is designed for high-performance passenger cars that see aggressive street driving, delivering strong stopping power even when the rotors are cold.

A red Brake-In surface coating conditions the rotor surface on contact, accelerating pad bed-in and providing safe, confident braking from the very first stop rather than requiring an extended break-in period. NUCAP NRS hook technology on the backing plates helps eliminate the risk of pad separation, while the low-dust ceramic formulation keeps wheels visibly cleaner than a standard semi-metallic pad.

This pad set is intended for owners of prestige European performance cars looking for a noticeable step up in braking feel and dust control over OEM pads for spirited street driving. Bed-in can take as long as 1,000 miles, and drivers should be patient as the pad conforms to the shape of the rotor; ECE R90 type approved for legal highway use on most passenger cars.
