Review on EBC Brakes DP31939C Redstuff Ceramic by Patrick Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Little brake dust! No squeak. Perfect fit for Mercedes E63s

OEM MB/Brembo brake pads generate so much dust I have even considered painting my wheels dark bronze to compensate for the copious amount of dust they generate to hide. After reading various forums with people recommending these pads, I decided to give it a try. They are also significantly cheaper than OEM at the dealer. I agree that brake dust accumulation has been greatly reduced. I've ridden 1200 miles since changing the pads/rotors last month and the wheels are definitely a lot cleaner than with the original pads. Only now do they become visibly dirty, because previously the wheels stayed clean for a week at most. In terms of performance, I haven't noticed any dramatic change (better or worse) compared to the OEM MB/Brembo pad/rotor combo. what was before the last brake repair on the car. The car still stops at a dime. (Now with Brembo rotors in the front and Zimmerman in the rear with all red EBC pads). The pads work great and stop my ridiculously heavy car with no noticeable change compared to the stock pads, there is less dust on the wheels and they stay cleaner longer and it was a fraction of the cost. Couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
