EBC Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

2001–2002 Dodge Viper 8.0L V10

Part #: DP31164C

Overview

The EBC Redstuff Rear Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2001–2002 Dodge Viper equipped with the 8.0L V10 engine. Designed for drivers who demand superior braking performance combined with low dust output, these pads offer a significant upgrade over standard OEM components. Ideal for fast road use and repeated heavy braking, Redstuff pads deliver consistent stopping power from the first application and improve as they heat up, ensuring confidence and control in every driving situation.

These pads are perfect for enthusiasts seeking a high-performance rear brake solution that balances durability, noise reduction, and cleanliness without compromising braking efficiency.

Key Features

EBC Redstuff pads incorporate advanced materials and design features that set them apart from conventional brake pads. Key benefits include:

• Up to 90% reduction in brake dust compared to standard pads, keeping wheels cleaner
• Contains no steel fibers, allowing dust to be easily removed with a simple sponge wash
• Superior cold bite performance, matching or exceeding OEM pad effectiveness from the first stop
• Ceramic-enhanced synthetic fiber compound for improved braking and longevity
• Durable construction designed for extended pad life and consistent performance
• ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval for reliable, road-legal use
• EBC Brake-In surface coating accelerates rotor conditioning and pad bed-in
• Nominal friction coefficient of 0.5 for strong, predictable stopping power
• Proven to reduce stopping distance by up to 13 meters from 100 mph compared to OEM pads

Construction & Design

The Redstuff pads feature a synthetic fiber-based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles, a significant advancement over earlier Redstuff formulations. This ceramic technology improves wear resistance, reduces noise, and minimizes dust generation. The absence of steel fibers not only reduces abrasive wear on rotors but also ensures that brake dust is less stubborn and easier to clean.

The pads are engineered to be hard-wearing, which means they require a longer bed-in period—up to 1,000 miles—to fully conform to the rotor surface. This bedding process ensures optimal contact and braking efficiency over the life of the pads.

Performance & Sound

From cold starts, these pads provide immediate and strong braking response, comparable to or better than original equipment. As the pads warm up during use, their performance improves, delivering consistent and reliable stopping power under demanding conditions. The ceramic compound also contributes to quieter operation by reducing typical brake squeal and vibration common with semi-metallic pads.

Additionally, the significant reduction in brake dust enhances both aesthetics and maintenance, making these pads an excellent choice for drivers who want high performance without the mess.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct replacement for the rear brakes on the 2001–2002 Dodge Viper 8.0L V10, these pads fit precisely without the need for modifications. Installation follows standard brake pad replacement procedures, but users should allow for the recommended bed-in period to achieve maximum performance and longevity.

What's Included

• Set of rear brake pads (left and right sides)
• Brake-In surface coating pre-applied for rotor conditioning
• Installation instructions and bedding guidelines

Ideal For

These brake pads are ideal for Dodge Viper owners who:

• Drive aggressively on fast roads or track days requiring repeated heavy braking
• Desire reduced brake dust and easier wheel maintenance
• Seek improved cold and hot braking performance over OEM pads
• Value quieter braking with less noise and vibration
• Want a durable, long-lasting pad that maintains consistent stopping power
