EBC Redstuff Brake Pads (FRONT)

1966–1978 Chrysler, Dodge & Plymouth Classic Models

DP31176C

Overview:

The EBC Redstuff Brake Pads are a premium front brake pad upgrade designed specifically for classic Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Engineered for enthusiasts who demand superior stopping power combined with low dust and long-lasting performance, these pads deliver exceptional braking from the moment you start driving. Whether you own a Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Charger, or D300 Pickup, Redstuff pads provide a significant improvement over original equipment, making them ideal for fast street driving and spirited use.

These pads are especially favored for their remarkable dust reduction and consistent braking performance, even from cold starts. They are perfect for drivers seeking a reliable, quiet, and durable braking solution that enhances safety without compromising the classic driving experience.

Key Features:

EBC Redstuff Brake Pads incorporate advanced materials and design to offer a high-performance braking solution with minimal maintenance. Key features include:

• Up to 90% reduction in brake dust compared to standard pads, keeping wheels cleaner
• Advanced synthetic fiber compound enhanced with ceramic particles for superior friction
• Excellent cold bite performance, matching or exceeding original pads from the first stop
• Improved braking power that increases as the pads heat up during use
• Durable construction for extended pad life and resistance to fade under repeated heavy braking
• EBC Brake-In surface coating to condition rotors and accelerate bed-in process
• Nominal friction coefficient of 0.5 for consistent stopping power
• Approximately 50% less dust than semi-metallic pads, with dust easily cleaned off
• ECE R90 approved for brake safety compliance on most Red Ceramic pads
• Designed specifically to fit classic Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models from 1966 to 1978

Construction & Design:

The Redstuff pads utilize a synthetic fiber-based friction material enhanced with ceramic particles, delivering a balance of high friction, low dust, and low noise. Unlike traditional semi-metallic pads that contain steel fibers, Redstuff pads produce minimal dust that is easily cleaned without harsh chemicals. This advanced ceramic compound represents a significant evolution over earlier Redstuff formulations, offering improved longevity, quieter operation, and better overall braking performance.

The pads are engineered to withstand the demands of fast street driving and repeated heavy braking, making them a reliable choice for classic muscle cars and premium sedans. The robust design ensures consistent contact with the rotor, while the EBC Brake-In coating helps optimize rotor surface condition for maximum pad effectiveness.

Performance & Sound

From the first application of the brakes, Redstuff pads provide strong, confident stopping power comparable to or better than original equipment. Their friction characteristics improve as the pads warm up, ensuring reliable performance during spirited driving or heavy braking scenarios. Additionally, these pads operate quietly, minimizing brake squeal and harsh noises common with other high-performance compounds.

Testing has shown that vehicles equipped with Redstuff pads can stop up to 13 meters shorter than those with OEM pads when braking from 100 mph (160 kph), underscoring their superior performance capability.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are designed as a direct fit replacement for the front brakes on a wide range of classic Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles, including:

• Chrysler 300 (1969–1971)
• Dodge Challenger (1970–1974)
• Dodge Charger (1969–1977)
• Dodge D300 Pickup (1971–1972)
• Additional compatible models include Chrysler Cordoba, Imperial, New Yorker, Newport, Town & Country, Dodge Coronet, Monaco, Polara, Plymouth Barracuda, Fury, Road Runner, Satellite, and more from 1966 through 1978

Installation requires no modifications and follows standard brake pad replacement procedures. Due to the hard-wearing nature of the compound, a bed-in period of up to 1000 miles is recommended for optimal performance, allowing the pads to conform fully to the rotor surface.

What's Included:

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

Ideal For:

These brake pads are ideal for classic muscle car owners, vintage vehicle restorers, and performance enthusiasts who want a reliable, low-dust, and high-friction brake upgrade. They suit fast street driving, occasional spirited use, and drivers seeking improved safety and brake feel without sacrificing the authenticity of their classic Chrysler, Dodge, or Plymouth vehicle.
