Green stuff - 2000 Series - Premium Street Pad


Premium street sport pad for cars up to 200bhp. General spirited street driving.

Designed for premium street driving offering better brake effect up to 600°C (1100°F). 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 and vehicles above 200bhp we strongly recommend Redstuff which DOES offer much less dust.


how do people rate these pads ??

I've got swindled twice into buying these, and I can say that Green stuff are rubbish.

I'd never use them again even if they paid me!

[Chris Hebden]

What was the problem Ian? I only ask because i seem to be the only one that hasnt had a problem with green stuff pads yet, i have been using them on the fronts with out a problem?

[samb5]

i also run green stuff front an rear an all seems ok an stops very well, dont get no brake fade either.. i quite like the pads myself

The first set I had only had any bite the day after driving in the rain.

The bullsh1ters at EBC told me I have to wash the discs. What every day! Idiots.

That was in 1999 though. So in maybe 2004 I bought some more, assured that all earlier problems were in the past and though they were called V4 it was actually 20 to 30 versions later.

They were very variable. Sometimes they grip so hard the car would emergency brake with a light touch, other times barely anything no matter how hard I press the pedal. Total crap around town. Except, again, after driving in the rain.

New master cylinder, fluid, discs, callipers, brake hoses, rear compensator hard on. New wheel bearings.

The only thing left to change to fix the problem, once again, the crapstuff pads.
