I don't remember Red Stuff pads being ceramic. Is this something new? It looks like they have a set that will fit E0 front brakes as well as other Contour front brakes and all Contour rear disc brakes.

Here is a link:

I put them on my `96. The were ok, the Mintex A/Fs out did them easily, but I didnt try to test the limits of the pads either.

Meh, for $25 I wasnt going to complain.

I have not been a fan of EBC pads either, but I don't remember Red Stuff as being ceramic. Anyone know if this is a new formulation?

Sounds like a new formulation to me, although it could just be new marketing.

I guess I should better read my own links. Somehow I thought that about 2003 is when Red Stuff was introduced and that it may have had a reformulation since then. I guess that I just jumped to a bad conclusion.
