Got 'um and they are RED!

[Old Jeeper]

EBC has come out with a specific brake for Jeeps and Light trucks, they are "Red Stuff" Vs the Yellow Stuff. These new brakes take the place of the Orange Stuff. These are brand new and I spent half a day trying to find RED. Dealers that have Orange in stock have to exhaust those before they are shipped the Red ones.

I only ordered the Fronts. My Jeep only has about 1000 mi on it and as 70-80% of braking happens on the Front no need to buy the rear set now.

Now to track down some Hi Perf Caliper Red Paint.

What's the composition? Sintered? Semi-sintered? Etc.

I'm taking the long view here as it concerns balancing performance with rotor life. More to the point, trying to find the balance in this somewhat contradictory ad copy:

"Low dust EBC RedStuff is a superb pad for fast street use and targets high HP imports, muscle cars and prestige European cars."
<and>
"Redstuff pads also reduce rotor wear so that rotors and pads last longer while delivering great brake performance."

G2 Caliper Paint makes a great brush on alternative that lasts and lasts and lasts.

I have been running EBC for years and it's ONE GREAT BRAKE. Never saw any excessive wear or brake dust.

EBC: "
EBC Redstuff Ceramic Low Dust
Low dust EBC RedStuff is a superb pad for fast street use and targets high HP imports, muscle cars and prestige European cars. EBC RedStuff ceramic pads reduce dust emitted by OEM pads by approx 80%. Redstuff pads also reduce rotor wear so that rotors and pads last longer while delivering great brake performance. For optimum lifetime in track use EBC still recommends drivers to upgrade to YellowStuff or even BlueStuff range but if fast street is what you need, EBC RedStuff is the pad to choose.

I'm probably a curmudgeon, but this tilts me to the Hawk LTS pads. I want brake pads that blend in, not looking like tomatoes. Unfortunate because the EBC seems like a good product.

What is the part number? Are they to fit on a dual piston caliper? I ordered a set of the green and they were too small. I'm not sure what calipers I have other than dual piston on a 2020 Sport. They are quite a bit bigger than the rear calipers.

LOL, Not sure you really see your pads very well with the wheels on.

Where in that description of red stuff does jeep or truck fit in? Looks like muscle cars, fast street performance, not what I'd call a jeep... maybe the 392

Look at the pic in my 1st post and read the label.

Their brake selector has a good comparison showing the benefits of their Red..

Spray the back of them with some high heat flat black Rustoleum a day before you install them. Problem solved.
