EBC 02-06 RSX Type S / 06-11 Civic Si Redstuff Front Brake Pads Reviews

These are good pads. Noticed some increase in stopping power. One major con however is that these are not quiet by any means. Very noisy especially while breaking in. Would recommend the green stuff first before these. NTL still a great pad.

These pads work for my car, one thing that fascinates me is the fancy red color, must buy

First off I installed these pads myself so it was very much a straight forward install. No headaches or missing pieces. I cant remember the rear or front having this issue but one of them doesnt come with shims, no big deal, just use your stock ones. So lets move on to their claims. They say its "almost dust free" but thats not true. I was hoping for something on the same level of dust as the OEM brake pads and Im satisfied. Just a little more dust than OEM; which you cant complain since these are aftermarket, higher performance pads. My "bed in" time took about 1000 miles to feel the entire braking ability. I also did the bed-in process after the bed-in time period. Before that though, they werent dangerously bad but just not as good as they are now; about on par with OEM pads. One thing I noticed is when new they dont brake as hard when they are cold. I had to apply the brakes about 4-5 times to get a very good grab. They definitely get better as they warm-up now and when they were new. In closing these are great replacements for stock pads. Better initial grab, not even close to the amount of brake fade as stock has when hot, and the dust is low.
