can’t comment on availability, they are widely available through distributors.

Fitted the redstuff pads to my brothers car and they are OK but he still gets wheel dust and they squeal a bit at low speeds.

Yeah you will get dust, a lot less of it and its a lighter colour, crucially its not hot iron specs that melt into the lacquer.
Squealing might be to do with disc choice/wear - who knows, maybe a wee bit of copper grease on the contact points of the pad in the caliper.....

They've been off twice already, cleaned up the carriers, checked disk runout and put a light coat of ceratec on the contact points but they still do it. It's not terrible but EBC did say that redstuff were supposed to be the low noise street pad.

Yeah I did read that in the description, I guess the thing is 'exactly' what they mean by low noise.
To me no noise is a low noise pad...
Maybe something random like a badly fitting carrier, are the carriers and calipers made as a pair? just a thought, if so a carrier may have been swapped in the past...
