Product Information

Full details

The EBC Brakes BSD Performance Discs and Greenstuff Pads Kit is designed for automotive enthusiasts looking for a reliable braking upgrade for fast street driving. By pairing high-performance slotted discs with low-dust, high-initial-bite Greenstuff brake pads, this kit delivers improved stopping power and superior heat dissipation compared to standard OEM components. While this setup provides significant performance gains and a cleaner aesthetic, users should note that performance-oriented pads may require specific bedding-in procedures to achieve their maximum potential.

FAQs

Can I use these pads for track days?

The Greenstuff compound is primarily designed for fast street use. For dedicated track racing, we recommend EBC's Yellowstuff or Bluestuff lines.

Do I need to change my brake fluid?

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to flush the brake system with fresh high-quality fluid when upgrading brake components.

How long do Greenstuff pads last?

Longevity depends on driving style; however, due to their performance nature, they may wear faster than soft, economy-grade organic pads.

Are the discs directional?

Yes, ensure you follow the markings on the discs to install them with the correct rotation relative to the wheel movement.

Will these pads rust?

The pads themselves are metal-based and may show surface oxidation if the vehicle sits in wet conditions, but this will disappear with use.

Does the kit come with installation hardware?

The kit includes the discs and pads; please check your specific vehicle fitment regarding the reuse of existing anti-rattle clips.

Troubleshooting

Brake squeal after installation

Ensure that the brake pad clips were cleaned and lubricated correctly, and check that the pads are fully seated in the caliper.

Reduced braking performance

Verify that the bedding-in process was followed correctly; check for air in the hydraulic brake lines and bleed the system if necessary.

Excessive vibration during braking

Check the wheel hub for rust or debris; improper mounting of the disc to the hub is a common cause of perceived rotor warping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved initial brake bite for safer everyday driving
  • Slotted design prevents pad glazing and heat buildup
  • Significantly reduced brake dust output
  • Noise reduction through edge chamfering
  • Direct fit for standard caliper systems

Cons

  • Requires proper bedding-in procedure for optimal performance
  • May be more aggressive than standard daily-driver pads
  • Not intended for heavy-duty track racing environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the EBC Brakes BSD kit should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper caliper alignment and bolt torquing. Always ensure the brake discs are cleaned with an appropriate brake cleaner to remove the protective anti-corrosion layer before installation. For the Greenstuff pads, follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in period; avoiding harsh or sudden braking during the first 200 miles will allow the pads and discs to mate perfectly, preventing future vibrations or noise. Periodically inspect the disc slots to ensure they remain clear of packed-in brake dust or road debris.
