Greenstuff™ – 2000 Series Brake Pads

Greenstuff™ has once again pushed the performance barriers of organic friction materials. The latest version of Greenstuff™ brake pads are a deliberately softer compound to improve pedal feel on lighter cars at lower speeds.

This resulted in a medium dust material with good lifetime and minimal rotor wear.

EBC Greenstuff™ has a high initial brake effect and gives drivers confidence from first application of the brake pedal. There is no such thing as a no dust pad. The very nature of how a brake works requires that some dust be generated to avoid rotor vibration (shimmying). The EBC pad creates less dust and dust is more easily washed off than most. All pads create more dust as they are bedding in especially if rotors are worn. Nominal friction coefficient 0.55. For heavier faster cars we strongly recommend Redstuff which does offer much less dust.

Greenstuff™ series is regarded as a first level brake improvement over stock and can deliver up to 15% improvement in stopping power. However Greenstuff™ is not a hard and long lasting pad and drivers may find Greenstuff™ last less miles than stock units which in our opinion are designed primarily to pass the warranty period but Greenstuff are a good quality pad replacement with medium dusting and good brake effect.

When replacing brakes of any kind please remember how important brake safety is to your own well being and either have a professional mechanic install your new brakes or if you are a qualified mechanic use the EBC installation DVD as a guide in support of your vehicle owner’s manual.
