Product Information

Full details

The EBC Greenstuff Performance Brake Pad Set (DP22149) is engineered specifically for drivers of lighter cars and sports saloons looking for an upgrade in stopping power and pedal feel during daily and spirited street driving. These pads deliver up to a 15% improvement in braking efficiency compared to standard stock pads and are designed to provide excellent bite from cold temperatures. While they are a premier choice for enthusiasts, it is important to note that these pads are strictly intended for road use and are not designed to withstand the high-heat demands of track driving.

FAQs

Are these pads safe for track days?

No, EBC does not recommend the Greenstuff compound for track or circuit use. They are designed exclusively for fast-road applications.

Will these cause my wheels to get dirty?

The Greenstuff compound is designed to produce low levels of dust compared to many other performance pads, keeping your wheels cleaner.

Are these legal for street use?

Yes, these pads are ECE R90 certified and fully legal for road use.

Do I need to change my brake discs when installing these?

While not strictly required, it is best practice to use them on smooth, undamaged discs to ensure even wear and maximum performance.

What is the friction coefficient of these pads?

The nominal friction coefficient for this compound is 0.55.

Are these suitable for a heavy SUV?

No, these are optimized for lighter cars, hot hatches, and sports saloons under 200bhp. They may not perform optimally on heavy vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Brake squeal during light braking

Ensure the included shims are properly installed and verify that anti-seize or brake lubricant was applied to the contact points of the caliper.

Spongy pedal feel after installation

Bleed the brake system to ensure no air bubbles are trapped in the lines after the pad replacement.

Uneven pad wear

Check that the caliper slide pins are properly lubricated and moving freely, as seized pins are the most common cause of uneven wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is vital for safety. Ensure your brake discs are clean and free of heavy scoring before fitting the new pads.

  1. Preparation: Thoroughly clean the caliper mounting surfaces.
  2. Installation: Utilize the provided shims to ensure a quiet fit. Use appropriate brake grease on the back of the pads (avoid contact with the friction material).
  3. Bed-in Process: Even though these are street pads, perform a gentle break-in for the first 100-200 miles to allow the pads to mate perfectly with your existing discs.
  4. Compatibility: These are designed for vehicles under 200bhp. Always verify your specific vehicle's brake pad shape against the DP22149 part number before purchase.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically inspect pad thickness during oil changes to ensure they remain within safe operating tolerances.
