DP3678C

Overview:

The EBC Redstuff Brake Pads are a premium front brake upgrade designed specifically for classic muscle cars like the 1974–1979 Dodge Charger and the 1978–1979 Dodge Magnum. These pads offer a significant improvement over standard OEM brake pads by delivering superior stopping power, reduced brake dust, and enhanced durability. Ideal for enthusiasts who demand reliable, consistent braking performance on the street and during spirited driving, Redstuff pads combine advanced materials and engineering to provide excellent cold bite and fade resistance.

Redstuff pads are perfect for drivers seeking a low-dust, high-friction brake pad that maintains quiet operation while offering improved safety and control. Their synthetic fiber-based compound, enhanced with ceramic particles, ensures long-lasting performance and a clean wheel appearance.

Key Features:

Engineered for fast street and premium sedan applications, the EBC Redstuff Brake Pads deliver a blend of performance and refinement. Key features include:

• Up to 90% reduction in brake dust compared to conventional pads, keeping wheels cleaner
• Steel-fiber free compound for easy dust removal with just a sponge wash
• Excellent cold bite, matching or exceeding OEM pad performance right from the first stop
• Improved braking power as the pads heat up during use, ideal for repeated heavy braking
• Synthetic fiber and ceramic particle compound for enhanced durability and quieter operation
• Longer lifespan compared to previous Redstuff formulations
• ECE R90 brake safety regulation approved for peace of mind
• Includes EBC Brake-In surface coating to condition rotors and accelerate bed-in
• Nominal friction coefficient of approximately 0.5 for strong, consistent stopping power
• Pad dimensions: 142 x 60 x 18 mm, designed to fit specific Dodge Charger and Magnum models

Construction & Design:

The Redstuff pads utilize a state-of-the-art synthetic fiber-based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles, providing a balance of high friction and low dust generation. Unlike traditional semi-metallic pads, these do not contain steel fibers, which are a common source of stubborn brake dust. The ceramic enhancement improves heat resistance and wear characteristics, resulting in quieter braking and longer pad life.

The pads feature a specialized EBC Brake-In coating on the surface, which helps to condition the rotor and speed up the bedding process. While bed-in times can extend up to 1000 miles, this ensures the pads conform perfectly to the rotor surface for optimal contact and performance.

Performance & Sound

EBC Redstuff Brake Pads provide confident stopping power comparable to or better than original equipment pads, even from cold starts. Their high friction coefficient ensures strong initial bite and consistent performance under repeated heavy braking conditions. The ceramic compound also reduces heat fade, maintaining braking efficiency during demanding driving.

In addition to performance, these pads are engineered to minimize noise and vibration, delivering a quiet and smooth braking experience without the harshness sometimes associated with performance brake pads.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are designed as a direct fit replacement for the front brakes of 1974–1979 Dodge Charger and 1978–1979 Dodge Magnum models. Installation requires no modifications and can be performed using standard brake service procedures. Proper bedding-in is recommended to achieve the best performance and longevity, which involves gradually warming the brakes over the first 500 to 1000 miles.

What's Included:

• Set of front EBC Redstuff Brake Pads (pair)
• Brake-In surface coating pre-applied
• Installation instructions and bedding guidelines

Ideal For:

These brake pads are ideal for classic muscle car owners and enthusiasts who want a reliable, high-performance brake upgrade that reduces dust and noise while improving stopping power. Perfect for fast street driving, spirited weekend cruising, and premium sedan applications where brake cleanliness and fade resistance are priorities.
