    RedStuff Pads with Rotor Suggestion?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Its time for me to replace my pads and rotors on my 2014 SQ5. I was thinking of trying the redstuff as I hear good things about it. Does anyone currently use these and can share insight?

    I cannot seem to find drilled or slotted options for the front. Is anyone running these 2 piece drilled/slotted in the rear?

    Trying to figure out if I need to pick the right combo of rotors with redstuff pads. My current brakes always squeaked and would like to ideally get rid of that sound.

    Thanks for your insight! I did a search and was unable to find much info on the forum....

    Just installed a set of red stuffs on my friends bbk. He is blown away by the initial bite, but more so because if the low dust. I'm gonna be going the same route and using EBC rotors.

    Have had red stuff installed over a year now. Interesting, I was surprised at the lack of initial bite. I feel it's pretty progressive compared to OEM.

    EBC Red Stuff + Centric cryo front rotors and centric high carbon rears. Great all around bite. I’ve had to almost lock up the car a few times and those pads/rotor combo plus the tires I have stop the car incredibly well. No brake noise as well.

    I know Stoptech makes a good set of drilled and/or slotted rotors.

    Zimmerman rotors are the best you can get. Worth the extra cost.
