Default EBC Redstuff Pads

I am going to upgrade the pads on my '07 Vert Z51 this spring and wondered if any of the other members on the Forum had any luck with the EBC Redstuff pads on their cars. Most of my driving is cruising with the wife but when she's not around, I enjoy an occasional bit of spirited driving on the farm roads. To be fair, my idea of 'spirited' driving might be different than some of the other guys but I want better braking. A bit of brake dust on the chrome wheels doesn't bother me... Much.

Thanks

Mark

I have the EBC "red stuff " ceramic pads on my Z06 and they work really good. Very little dust no noise at all and I have them coupled with Racing brake two piece light weight rotors. I thought i was going to get a nose bleed when I first put this set up on, they stop quicker than the stock brakes. I highly recommend the EBC Red stuff.

Take a look at the Carbotech 1521 pad. Carbotech is 100% made in the USA and made with high grade steel backing plates along with industry leading NRS technology.

Here is a link to explain further what NRS technology is exactly: http://www.nrsbrakes.com

Carbotech™ Bobcat 1521™ The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

Just bought some EBC Red Stuff pads for my 2010 Grand Sport
Found a site with lots of reviews on the pads.
