your experience with front EBC Red Stuff v. Brembo Pads

Hello is anyone using these front brake pads on their 2013 C63 with P30 and U70 Sedan? EBC Red Stuff or Brembo product links pasted below both from ecs tunning page.

If so are they low or high dusting? Brake Squel or quiet like OEM Pads. In the listing it says it may take 1,000 miles before they are bedded in. Has that been your experience. Also does anyone know what the difference in quality and performance of the Brembo Pads pasted link from ecstunning. Thanks for your help

I used EBC red pads all the time on my w202 c43 with no probs. Definitely lower dusting, can't remember if they were squeaky or not.

I've been using two piece brembo rotors with brembo pads and results are good so far. Good braking power, low dusting, no noise.

Thanks for the feedback

Is this the kit you have. Brembo Rotors and Pads? The reason I ask is that their sales rep. says based on my VIN# they do not fit.
My 2013 C63 Sedan does have the P30, 471 and U70 options, so I do not understand why they will not fit my car

I've used Red Stuff in several applications and like their performance a lot. They'd always be my go-to pad on first take. Read the bed-in instructions and follow them though as they require a different procedure then what you are probably familiar with. The pad comes with a self-polishing/seating coating that is very effective but it's not meant for grooved/scored surfaces such as can develop in rainy climates where you drive through standing water a lot. RS can squeak if you are doing a "pad slap" on scored rotors. If you have a smooth surface you are good to go.

I bought my current car with EBC yellows and having run EBC Reds on my previous car I prefer the yellows.
I do a lot of low speed city driving and as yet have no squealing which I used to get from the reds after a few weeks of no hard braking.
My thoughts.

I just got the Brembo pads for $104 shipped front and back.

Figured it cant be worse than stock. Let’s see how they go.
