EBC Brakes DP32185C Redstuff Ceramic front brake pads deliver low-dust stopping power for 2014+ Mazda 3 2.0L Japan build models and select CX-3 variants. These pads cut brake dust by 60-90 percent while providing OEM-level or better cold performance that strengthens under heat. FMSI D1728 pads measure 142 x 55.7 x 15.8mm for direct fit on 280mm diameter vented rotors with 52mm height, 25mm thickness, and 68mm center hole.
Key Features
- Lowest Dust Formula: Reduces dust 60-90 percent versus semi-metallic pads, washes off easily without steel fiber residue
- Cold Bite Performance: Grips like OEM pads from startup, gains strength as temperatures rise for repeated heavy braking
- Ceramic Enhanced Compound: Synthetic fibers with ceramic particles extend pad life, run quieter than prior Redstuff versions
- Brake-In Coating: Preps rotor surface to shorten bedding process and ensure even wear
- Shorter Stopping Distance: Dynamometer tested to halt passenger cars 13 meters quicker from 100mph/160kph than OEM pads, friction coefficient 0.5
Product Notes
- Bed-in requires up to 1000 miles of patient driving for pads to match rotor shape
- Suits fast street use on sport compacts and premium sedans with nominal 50 percent dust reduction
- Approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulation on most Red Ceramic pads
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Bed pads gradually with repeated moderate stops after install to reach full friction
- Compatible with OEM hardware on 280mm vented rotors, no additional shims required
