FAQs

Are EBC Greenstuff pads suitable for daily driving?

Yes, EBC Greenstuff pads are specifically designed for general road and fast road use, making them an excellent upgrade for daily drivers seeking improved braking performance without sacrificing comfort.

How long does the bedding-in process take?

The bedding-in process is typically completed after a series of moderate stops and a cooling period. Refer to the specific instructions provided with the pads, but generally, optimal performance is achieved within a few hundred miles of mixed driving.

What is the 'Brake-In' coating?

The Brake-In coating is a proprietary surface treatment on the pads that helps to speed up the transfer of pad material to the rotor surface during the initial bedding-in period. This allows the brakes to achieve their maximum performance potential much faster than with uncoated pads.

Do these pads fit all vehicles?

No, the DP2617 part number is specific to certain rear applications. It is crucial to verify fitment for your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

How do EBC Greenstuff pads compare to EBC Redstuff pads?

Greenstuff pads offer a good balance of performance for fast road use with less dust and noise than many sport pads. Redstuff pads offer even higher performance, are designed for heavier vehicles, and can handle more aggressive driving, but may produce more dust and require a more thorough bedding-in process.

Can I use these pads on the front and rear axles?

The DP2617 is specifically for the rear axle. For a complete upgrade, you would need to purchase the corresponding Greenstuff pads designed for the front axle of your vehicle.

How often should I inspect my brake pads?

It is recommended to inspect brake pads during regular vehicle maintenance, typically every 6 months or 5,000-10,000 miles, or whenever you notice changes in braking performance or hear unusual noises.

Troubleshooting

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

Ensure the pads were installed correctly with appropriate lubrication on caliper pins and backing plates. Verify the bedding-in procedure was completed properly. Check for rotor surface irregularities. Some initial noise can be normal, but persistent or loud noise may indicate an installation issue or need for further inspection.

Reduced braking performance

Confirm the pads have been correctly bedded-in. Check brake fluid level and condition. Inspect rotors for excessive wear or glazing. Ensure there are no leaks in the brake lines. Re-verify pad fitment for your vehicle.

Excessive dust despite claims

While Greenstuff pads produce less dust than many sport pads, some dust is inherent. Ensure wheels are being cleaned regularly. If dust seems unusually high or uncharacteristic, inspect the braking system for any dragging calipers or other issues that might cause abnormal wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers improved braking effect and confidence, especially during fast driving.
  • Effective performance maintained at high temperatures.
  • Designed for less dust and easier cleanup compared to some performance pads.
  • Features technologies to reduce noise for a quieter driving experience.
  • Quick and efficient bed-in process due to the Brake-In coating.

Cons

  • May produce more dust than standard OEM pads, although it's easier to clean.
  • As a performance upgrade, they may have a higher price point than standard replacements.
  • Requires proper bedding-in procedure for optimal performance and longevity.
  • Performance characteristics are optimized for road use, not track-specific conditions.
  • Slightly firmer pedal feel than standard pads, which may take some adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: EBC Greenstuff brake pads are designed as a direct replacement for your vehicle's existing rear brake pads. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or an individual experienced with brake systems. Ensure all caliper hardware is clean and lubricated. Follow the specific bedding-in procedure recommended by EBC Brakes (typically involving a series of moderate stops followed by cooling periods) to achieve optimal performance and longevity. The pads are sold in axle sets, meaning you will receive the correct quantity for both rear wheels.

Compatibility: The EBC Greenstuff Rear Brake Pads DP2617 are specifically designed for certain vehicle makes and models. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle using the manufacturer's compatibility guide or by consulting with your parts supplier before purchase. These pads are intended for general road and fast road use.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, keep the brake system clean. Periodically inspect the pads for wear. The dust produced by Greenstuff pads is formulated to be easily washed off; a simple rinse with water or a brake cleaner during routine vehicle washing can help maintain wheel appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the pad material or rotor surface.
