Product Information
Full details
The EBC Brakes Greenstuff brake pads (DP22038) are designed for street and motorway drivers who demand superior stopping power and better pedal feel compared to standard OEM pads. These pads are ideal for daily commuters and spirited street drivers, offering a quieter, more responsive braking experience with an EBC-specific bed-in coating for faster installation results. However, they are strictly engineered for street use and are not designed to withstand the extreme heat generated during track days or high-performance racing conditions.

FAQs
Are these pads suitable for track days?
No. Greenstuff pads are designed specifically for street and motorway use. Using them on a track can cause overheating and brake fade.
What EBC product should I use for track use instead?
For track or high-performance applications, EBC recommends Redstuff, Yellowstuff, or Bluestuff compounds.
Do I need to sand the pads to bed them in?
No, these pads include an EBC Brake-In surface coating that handles the bedding process for you.
Will these pads produce a lot of brake dust?
Greenstuff pads offer a moderate balance of performance and cleanliness, but you may notice more dust than ceramic-only pads due to the increased bite.
Can I use these on any vehicle?
No, you must verify that the DP22038 part number matches your specific vehicle's make, model, and brake caliper type.
Troubleshooting
Brake squeal immediately after installation
Ensure that the anti-rattle clips are seated correctly and that the pads have enough clearance to move freely in the caliper housing.
Soft or spongy pedal feel
This is often a sign of trapped air in the hydraulic lines. Bleed your brake system to remove air bubbles.
Long bed-in period required
If the pads are not grabbing effectively, check the rotor surface for existing glaze; light sanding or rotor turning may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is critical to achieving the advertised performance of the DP22038 set. Always ensure your brake rotors are free of grease or debris before installation. Because these pads come with the EBC Brake-In surface coating, you do not need to apply aggressive friction modifiers manually, though a standard bed-in procedure—consisting of gentle braking for the first 100-200 miles—is recommended to ensure perfect pad-to-rotor contact. Ensure your vehicle model is compatible with the DP22038 fitment before starting work. If you plan on doing a full fluid flush during the pad change, use the manufacturer-recommended brake fluid grade to maintain system integrity.
