Never had any problem with the Redstuff pads in 18 months on my S/C, although have now changed to H/D Orangestuff more of a precaution and trial rather than anything else, as had no reply from EBC as to why they dropped the Redstuff ones for the Sport, which really wasn't surprising. Haven't really bedded them in yet so not sure how they will preform, lot of dust initially but not sure if that's more the bedding in coating EBC have on the pads to start with, but have fitted grooved discs as well so probably won't help the dust side of things anyway.

Cheers

they do chow down on the disc quickly.

The discs are wearing down a little quicker than expected but the yellow stuff pads bite from cold, they don’t need time to warm up, it’s instant. I do find that the yellow on the front and red on the back give the car a better feel through the brakes compared to the LR pads, the previous LR pads gave lots of dust and I found a bit susceptible to fade if I was slowing quickly from motorway speeds. If you’re upgrading however you will notice an improvement over standard anyway so you go OEM to start and upgrade in the future. If you have a TDV6/SDV6 then the OEM is likely to be sufficient anyway. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
