IMHO they are rubbish. EBC are cheap and you get what you pay for. I had the new style TGD fitted with redstuff pads. The redstuff were also next to useless. When they wore out after 3 months and about 4k miles I replaced them with DS2500 pads which are just in another league. Trouble is, now the pads are far better than the discs and so the discs didn't cope too well and warped. All bedding in etc followed to the letter.

Kuwaiti,

Don't use RedStuff on the scoob - IMHO its useless. Failed to stop the car from cold, fade when they are hot and pad life was appalling. Replaced with Ferodo DS2500 - a different league of pad!

Cheers
Neil.
