Greenstuff Brake Pads
Since EBC Brakes launched its sport range in 1997 EBC Greenstuff has sold well over 3 million sets of performance automotive brakes all over the world and has become the number one selling EBC sport pad. It is essential to note that EBC offer three ranges of Greenstuff pads, engineered for each application
- Greenstuff 2000 series for sport compact and hot hatches
- Greenstuff 6000 series for entry level truck and SUV upgrade
- Greenstuff 7000 low dust Truck and SUV Brakes
Appreciated by drivers of cars up to 200 BHP year 2009 sees the launch of the 9th version of EBC 2000 series Greenstuff which has once again pushed the performance barriers of organic friction materials. The latest version of Greenstuff is 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.
Greenstuff 6000 series is regarded as a first level brake improvement over stock and can deliver up to 15% improvement in stopping power. However Greenstuff 6000 is not a hard and long lasting pad and drivers may find Greenstuff last less miles on light Trucks and SUV than stock units which in our opinion are designed primarily to pass the warranty period but 6000 are a good quality pad replacement with medium dusting and good brake effect.
Greenstuff 7000 series are a slightly harder pad than its 6000 series stable mate and designed to Reduce Dust and last slightly longer than the 6000 series. Again a great pad and a quality pad replacement for Truck and SUV (4 x 4)
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.
The entire green range is approved to ECE R90 for highway use. For more details on ECE R90 (Regulation 90 brake safety standard) click here.
Greenstuff Series
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.
Greenstuff – 6000 Series – 4×4 (SUV and Light Truck) Brake Pad
An excellent solution for 4×4 use, this heavy duty Greenstuff formulation has slightly lower friction than its 2000 series counterpart (average friction coefficient 0.45mm) but has the benefit of longer life and better resistance to offroad conditions of dust and sand etc. It has an extremely low rotor wear factor and medium-to-good lifetime.
Greenstuff – 7000 Series – 4×4 / SUV Supreme Brake Pad
For a small price premium over the 6000 series, these pads are the ultimate SUV / 4×4 front end pad. They will stop faster and last longer with almost zero brake dust and are EBC’s premium offering for heavy 4x4s. These pads are guaranteed noise free. Average friction coefficient 0.45mm. Features and benefits include chamfers and slots, shimmed, and coated with EBC’s own Brake-In friction accelerator for fast bed-in.

I was amazed at the stopping power.I have a performance motor on my car and these pads are very reliable to reduce speed and stop the vehicle.

I am very happy with performance of pads, but beware of brake dust. Green pads create great deal of brake dust. My rims are black in 3-4 days. IF that doesn’t matter, they are very good pads.

I got these pads about 10 months ago and are ready for another set now. These pads teamed up with my choice of rotors stop like you have been punched in the guts. I will always get these pads for all my future cars.

Purchased a set of EBC Greenstuff 6000 for my 02 VW Eurovan (T4) MV. I would have loved to pair them with EBC dimpled / slotted rotors but here in the US they are not offered for my vehicle. Ended up pairing them with Zimmermann Sport (drilled) rotors and I am very happy with the results. The bed in period was very quick with no squeaks or noise. Stopping distance definitely decreased and very smooth. Brake response like OEM but stops smoother and quicker. Only have 5k miles so far on them so we will see how they wear. Much less dust than the OEM. Actually loads less ! Dust seems to be light brownish rather than a charcoal colour with the OEMs.
Was difficult finding the rear pads for my vehicle which is probably due to so few being here in the US. We through 3 different suppliers that advertised 1 week to 10 day delivery but after 1 month could never send. Brandon at EBC in the US helped out and got me the pads within 1 week.
Only decision now is what pad and rotor combo to go with on my 2010 VW Tiguan.
Purchase location: US supplier (cannot remember) for front and EBC directly for rears.
