Each week, we put another acclaimed EBC Brakes component under the spotlight
EBC Brakes’ Greenstuff™ is the number-one selling EBC sports pad, designed for spirited road driving, especially in lighter sports sedans and hot hatches.
A mild upgrade from OEM means it retains an extremely useable manner in all conditions while also offering extra performance when you need it most.
Greenstuff™ carries the prestigious ‘Leaf Mark’, with the highest N rating, meaning it’s recognised for its superior environmental safety. It contains no lead, copper, or toxic sulphides within its make-up.
This popular brake pad is crafted in EBC Brakes’ friction factory in Bristol, UK.

Greenstuff™ delivers a high initial brake effect, inspiring confidence from the first application of the brake pedal. Once bedded in (utilising EBC’s ‘Brake-In’ surface coating for instant safe braking after install), the pad typically offers a 10-15% improvement in braking performance than OEM brake pad offerings.
An ideal subtle brake pad upgrade for those who enjoy occasional spirited driving on the road.
