They get used heavily for traction and stability control, not so much for stopping the car. If your rears are wearing quickly/dusting a lot, that means the nannies are working hard to keep you safe.

I was previously on Yellowstuff and was running that on JB4 map 2 power. Now that I am on upgraded turbos and e40 mix, I have gone one step above to Bluestuff. And I feel the braking is perfect for slowing down my current horsepower level. I personally wouldn't even put Redstuff on stock power as I heard the initial bite is noticeably less than factory OEM

So all 4 brakes are used an equal amount for normal braking power? Odd that my rears are dusting more since I don't really feel or put myself in a lot situations day to day for the SC or TC to come into play

I will test the red on my car once they are back in stock and will report back on whether I prefer them over the yellow

Fronts should be used much more, because you're starting with more weight in the front, and then transferring additional weight there by braking. Of course they're bigger, so they can handle it better, but in straight line braking the overwhelming majority of the work is done by the front pads.

The front EBC Red Stuff has an estimated ship date of around 10-14. Rears are good to ship right now.
PM for a quote. |

Also quite curious that it seems the gentleman responsible for developing the brakes on M cars either isn't aware that the rear brakes are the primary, or didn't think it was worth mentioning such in this nearly 5-minute technical video describing the G8X braking system. This despite the fact that there are dedicated sections on the braking control software and on the rear brakes, respectively. Since this would be one of the only cars to operate this way, that's a puzzling omission, don't you think? After all, the C8 is one car that actually DOES have rear-biased (40/60) brakes, and they spent a hell of a lot of time talking about it during the pre-launch period.

I'm also not talking about in this in every situation though, but primarily. Some light, red light, you see it a mile away, kind of braking. You're not going dive or squat in that situation, but smash the pedal with someone running out in front of you, all 4 will get used and you'd definitely notice a dive. As far as what BMW has released publicly, after talking with an S58 engineer for a while there's a *lot* of stuff BMW does not tell us (understandably) about the inner workings of the car, so I wouldn't be surprised of anything anymore. |

The S58 tuning isn't a great comparison, because there you're talking about arcane things like fuel maps and boost thresholds in particular operational modes that are specific to this engine and this engine only. Here we're talking about the fundamental operation of one of the most basic systems in the car being altered so it is both completely different and significantly less efficient than the same system in every other front-engine car ever made by anyone. They would have needed a pretty fantastic reason to do that, and presumably they'd be very proud of their innovation if there was in fact such a reason.

To get this thread back on track, I've given up on the EBC Reds.
After waiting 60 days with a new ship date estimated every week, I cancelled my order and ordered the iSweep 1500s, which are in stock with RG Sport. I also didn't realize how much the brake pads show through the caliper - I have black calipers and am glad the iSweeps look OEM.

Historically the ‘aids’ (steering etc) used to apply brakes to help maintain a position of the vehicle, I don’t believe that’s the case anymore due to the camera technology that supports lane positioning that uses steering input but it could be. |

I'm talking about in situations where you're just braking normally without something like DSC/TC needing to intervene. |

We have a shipment from EBC, and some sets aren't spoken for yet. Shoot us a PM if you are looking for these.

I may be overthinking this, but would the red stuff brake pads look strange on a G80 with Blue calipers? I'm not sure how much of the pad is visible when they are installed.

A very good alternative is the Porterfield R4-S. The backing plate is black if that matters to you.
