The EBC Greenstuff DP2946 Front Brake Pads are designed for drivers of cars up to 200 BHP seeking improved pedal feel and confident braking, especially at lower speeds. While offering a high initial brake effect and good lifetime with minimal rotor wear, users should be aware that they are a softer compound compared to some performance pads, which can influence their ultimate high-speed performance limits.

The Greenstuff pads are designed for fast road use and offer good performance up to 600°C. For dedicated track use or vehicles significantly exceeding 200 BHP, EBC's Yellowstuff or Bluestuff pads may be more appropriate due to their higher temperature threshold and fade resistance.
The bedding-in process typically involves about 5-10 moderate stops from around 30-50 mph, with cooling periods between them. It's crucial to follow EBC's specific instructions for the best results.
No, the EBC Greenstuff compound is designed to be relatively gentle on brake rotors, providing good longevity for both the pads and the rotors compared to more aggressive compounds.
The softer compound provides a more progressive and confident pedal feel, especially at lower speeds and on lighter vehicles, making daily driving and low-speed maneuvers more predictable and comfortable.
Greenstuff pads generally offer a higher initial bite and better performance under moderate to spirited driving conditions compared to standard OEM pads, while also producing less dust.
The DP2946 is specifically designated as a front brake pad. Rear brake pads have different part numbers and specifications. Always use the correct pads for the front and rear axles as recommended by EBC.
It means you will see less brake dust accumulating on your wheels compared to many performance or economy pads. The dust produced is also formulated to be easier to wash off during routine vehicle cleaning.
Ensure pads were installed correctly with anti-squeal shims and hardware. Verify the bedding-in procedure was followed. Check for rotor surface issues or foreign debris. Edge chamfers help reduce noise, but some noise may be inherent to performance pads.
Confirm the bedding-in procedure has been completed correctly. New pads require a 'transfer' of friction material to the rotor surface. Allow a few more normal stops or repeat the bedding-in process if necessary.
While Greenstuff pads produce less dust than many alternatives, some dust is normal. Ensure brake dust is being washed off regularly. Check if other components like rotors are contributing to excessive dust.
Ensure all old hardware and brake dust are completely removed from the caliper bracket and sliders. Check that the rotor is within specifications and not excessively worn or warped. Slight filing of pad tabs may be needed in rare cases, but consult a professional.
Compatibility:
