What This Product Does
The pads apply friction to the rear brake discs as the pedal is operated, changing the car's kinetic energy into heat to slow or stop the vehicle. Their friction material wears during use and must be checked periodically.
Functions
- Acts on the rear discs to generate braking friction
- Supports controlled braking at the rear axle
- Replaces worn friction material within the original M030 arrangement
- Provides a complete pad set for one axle
Technical Details
- Porsche part number: 96535293905
- Product type: brake pad repair set
- Installation position: rear axle
- Vehicle equipment: M030
- Friction material specification: without asbestos
- Quantity: one brake pad set
Symptoms of Fault
- Friction material at or below its specified wear limit
- Uneven pad wear across the rear axle
- Squealing, scraping or grinding while braking
- Brake warning indication
- Longer stopping distances or reduced brake response
- Pulsation or vibration when slowing
- The vehicle pulling to one side under braking
Why Replacement Matters
Brake pads are consumable components that deteriorate through friction and heat. Timely renewal helps retain consistent braking and prevents worn backing plates from contacting and damaging the discs. During fitting, inspect the rear discs, fixed calipers, damping plates, warning contacts and mounting hardware; the exploded diagrams identify these associated components separately.
FAQs
- Is this set for the front or rear axle?
The Porsche diagrams identify part 96535293905 as a rear-axle brake pad set for the listed 968 M030 applications. - Does it fit every Porsche 968?
No. The supplied application information specifies cars equipped with M030. Confirm the vehicle option specification and part number before fitting. - Are brake warning contacts included?
The warning contact is shown as a separate component in the exploded diagram. Check whether sensors, damping parts and fitting hardware are required for the repair. - Should the rear discs be checked at the same time?
Yes. Inspect both discs for wear, scoring, cracking and thickness variation before installing new pads. - Is bedding-in required?
Follow the vehicle or brake-pad manufacturer's fitting and bedding guidance after installation.

EBC RED Road Brake Pads | Design911 Low-Dust High-Performance Braking for Fast Road Use
EBC RED Road Brake Pads (Redstuff) are engineered for Porsche models and fast road driving, delivering exceptional stopping power with the lowest brake dust output in the EBC range. Designed for drivers who want strong braking performance without dirty wheels or noise, Redstuff pads combine refined road manners with impressive performance under repeated heavy braking.
Available at Design911, EBC RED pads are a premium ceramic-based brake compound that outperform older Redstuff formulations. They brake strongly from cold—matching or exceeding original-equipment pad performance—and continue to improve as temperatures rise, making them ideal for spirited street driving and performance road use.
What Do EBC RED Road Brake Pads Do?
EBC RED pads convert kinetic energy into controlled stopping force with a focus on cleanliness, comfort, and confidence.
Core Functions:
- Deliver strong braking performance from cold.
- Maintain consistent friction during fast road driving.
- Dramatically reduce brake dust build-up.
- Provide quiet, vibration-free operation.
- Improve braking performance as temperatures increase.
These pads are designed to feel reassuring in everyday driving while offering extra performance when driven harder.
Why Do Road Brake Pads Wear or Fail?
Brake pads are consumable components and naturally degrade
over time.
Common Causes of Wear or Failure Include:
- Normal friction wear from daily driving.
- Heat cycling during repeated braking.
- Brake dust contamination affecting pad efficiency.
- Pad glazing caused by short journeys or incorrect compounds.
- Use of metallic pads, increasing disc wear and noise.
As pads wear, braking performance declines and dust output increases—making replacement essential for safety and comfort.
Why Replace with EBC RED Road Brake Pads?
EBC RED pads are designed to significantly outperform standard replacement pads while remaining road-friendly.
Key Benefits:
- 60–90% less brake dust than conventional pads.
- Dust is non-metallic and easily removed with a simple wash.
- Strong braking from cold, equal to or better than original pads.
- Improved braking performance as temperatures rise.
- Quieter operation with reduced vibration.
- Longer service life than earlier Redstuff compounds.
- Ceramic-enhanced aramid fibre compound.
- Features EBC Brake-In™ surface coating to accelerate bedding-in.
- Nominal friction coefficient of 0.5.
- Approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulation (most applications).
These pads are ideal for Porsche owners who want cleaner wheels without sacrificing braking confidence.
Bedding-In & Usage
Notes
- As a hard-wearing compound, bedding-in can take up to 1,000 miles.
- Drivers should be patient while the pad fully matches the disc surface.
- Once bedded in, performance improves significantly.
- Proven to stop a passenger vehicle up to 13 metres shorter from 100mph (160kph) compared to original pads.
Highlights
- Premium ceramic fast road brake pads.
- Ultra-low dust output with easy-clean residue.
- Strong cold bite with progressive performance.
- Quiet and disc-friendly compound.
- Ideal for Porsche and performance road vehicles.
