EBC Redstuff Ceramic Front Pads for BMW E81 E87 E60 E61 with ATE Front Callipers - DP31493C
Transform your BMW road braking with Redstuff ceramic front pads from EBC. This premium fast-road friction set is engineered for sharper bite, reduced brake dust and a cleaner wheel finish on BMW 1 Series E81 E87 and 5 Series E60 E61 models that use the ATE front calliper. Part number DP31493C.
Daily commute or spirited B-road driving, these pads deliver confident stopping power with a smooth, progressive pedal and noticeably less residue on your alloys. We have installed this kit for customers at MJ Modifications in Warwickshire and the feedback is consistently positive - stronger initial response, great feel, very low dust and quiet operation once bedded in.
Why this upgrade works
- Ceramic fibre compound for cleaner wheels and less maintenance between washes
- Strong high-speed deceleration with a firm, consistent pedal
- Noise-reducing shims and chamfered edges for refined, near-silent operation
- Brake-In surface coating helps the pads seat quickly on used or new discs
- No steel fibres which can be harsh on rotors, supporting longer disc life
- ECE R90 approved and fully road legal in the UK and Europe
- Red powder-coated backing plates for a quality finish
Important: Redstuff is a performance street pad, not intended for circuit or repeated extreme heat. For track sessions consider EBC Yellowstuff, Bluestuff, Orangestuff, RP1 or RPX race-focused pads.
