Anyone know where I can locate a set of front red stuff pads?

Seeing different info out there. Any help is appreciated.

I ordered at the end of January. Was supposed to be 3-4 weeks. Kept getting pushed back and finally until May now. I cancelled my order and went with iSweep 1500's.

Considerably less dust with the iSweep 1500’s and in stock through RG Sport. Just got a set last week.

Yep, I just ordered mine too. Shipped next day.

iSweep 1500 from r33_RGSport is the way to go.

Consensus is yes, but mine don't arrive until Thursday.

The iSweep 1500 compete with the EBC Reds for dust and performance. The only reason people usually go with the EBC Reds is because they're cheaper for the same levels of dust and performance, but if the EBCs are out of stock, iSweep 1500s are an identically performing alternative.

I have a feeling that the iSweep 1500's will produce even less dust than the EBC Reds. I've used EBC Reds on other cars in the past and they are "lower dust pads" but definitely not "low dust pads". From everything I have seen on the iSweeps, they seem to be truly low dust pads. I guess anything is an improvement over the stock pads though.

My experience is similar, but I personally don't think they produce enough "less dust" to be worth it if you can get a full set of EBC Reds.

Oh same. That's why I originally ordered EBC Reds but the pushed delivery dates just got frustrating, and resulted in almost having to double the cost for me to get the very similar iSweeps. Annoying but meh.

Ebc in the rear and Isweep in the front it is. YouTube video on dust comparison coming to a smartphone near you.

Did you also get the wear sensor or use your own sensor?

If the car/sensor is fairly new you don't need a new one. If you're at 10k+ miles, I'd maybe get a new one.

Pick your favorite vendor, dont go by their ETA because for the last six months, EBC ETA have not been reliable.

We stock this item and have shipments on order, if you wish to get the pads from us, please dm me for an invoice.

I ordered DFC5000 pads from Bimmerworld and so far they have been great. The pads feel the same as any ceramic pads I've used in the past and not as aggressive bite as oem. Very low dust and wheels take a couple of hundred miles before noticing buildup. They are great for a daily driver and occasional back road run. I don't live around canyon roads so I won't give my advice on it. They have the vibration weights on them also like oem and zero noise and don't rattle like the Carbotech ones I had for a few weeks. I ran the DFC3000 in mu car for two years but they were for CCB calipers so I had to remove them before damaging rotor hat. I attached two pictures, one after two days from washing and 2nd was after about 160 miles on car from driving to work and a couple of 100 mph pulls and breaking. They are about 100 bucks for the fronts also.

I didn't get the backs, I have Centric ceramic pads I put on car for rear. I still have plenty of pad left and they work perfectly.

I got the wear sensors with mine. Did you end up needing them or did you just reuse the OEM ones?

Reused the OEM, my original pads had basically nonexistent wear despite all the dust. Left is the old pad, right is the new. About 4000 miles on the OEM pads.
