Redstuff isn't a low dust pad.

What sort of use are you using the car for? Road or Track?

They'll be fine for that sort of use. But the pads are very abrasive and hard on discs so expect lots of dust and relatively rapid disc wear.

For a cost effective solution, try brakes international discs and pads. They're fine for normal road use and i think work out at about

I have redstuff on OEM disks. They generate quite a bit of dust and are as good on OEM. Never had any fade on one track day.

JD, quite a few people use the BI discs on here including some of the guys who go on track. I would go for them and some good pads. For road use I would go for Ferodo DS2500 - excellent pads. Just can get a bit hot on track.

I use BI disks. For road use they're perfect. For light track use, they're good. I can warp a set of BI disks, but I can warp EBC disks quicker.
