Full details

The EBC Brakes High Performance Brake Kit (PD02KF279) is designed for drivers seeking an upgrade in stopping power and reliability, pairing premium OE replacement discs with high-performance Redstuff brake pads. It is an ideal solution for those wanting a matched set to improve braking consistency while maintaining a cleaner wheel appearance through reduced dust production; however, users should note that the high-performance compound may require a specific bedding-in period to achieve peak efficiency.

FAQs

Are these brakes suitable for track racing?

While Redstuff pads offer improved performance over stock, they are primarily designed for high-performance street driving. For dedicated track use, consider EBC's specialized racing compounds.

Do I need to replace the hardware clips?

It is highly recommended to use new hardware clips during every brake job to ensure the pads move smoothly within the caliper bracket.

How long should the bedding-in process take?

Generally, it takes approximately 100-200 miles of urban driving with gentle braking to fully seat the pads to the discs.

Will these reduce brake dust on my rims?

Yes, the Redstuff ceramic-based compound produces significantly less dust than standard semi-metallic pads, keeping wheels cleaner for longer.

Can I install these myself?

If you have mechanical experience, you can, but brakes are critical safety components. If you are not confident in your skills, have them installed by a certified mechanic.

Troubleshooting

Brake squeal immediately after installation

Ensure that anti-seize or brake quiet grease was applied to the pad backing plates and clips during installation.

Pedal feels 'spongy'

This is likely due to trapped air in the hydraulic lines; bleed the brake system according to the vehicle service manual.

Uneven pad wear

Check that the brake caliper slide pins are properly lubricated and move freely, as stuck pins cause the pads to drag.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved braking responsiveness compared to standard equipment
  • Significantly lower brake dust production for cleaner wheels
  • Reduced noise and vibrations during braking
  • Longer component life due to specialized ceramic materials
  • Perfectly matched components ensure balanced performance

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for safety
  • Needs proper bedding-in procedure for optimal results
  • May be more aggressive than standard economy pads

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, always replace front pads and discs in pairs as provided in this kit. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure all caliper pins are lubricated and the braking system is properly bled. After installation, perform a proper 'bedding-in' procedure—typically involving a series of moderate stops from varying speeds—to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the disc surface, which maximizes friction and longevity. Regular inspections of the discs for scoring and checking pad thickness every 10,000 miles will help maintain performance.
