FAQs
Are EBC Green Stuff pads suitable for track days?
No, EBC strongly advises against using Green Stuff pads for any form of track driving. They are designed for fast road use only.
What vehicles are these pads best suited for?
These pads are optimized for lighter vehicles, such as hot hatches and sports saloons, with engine outputs of approximately up to 200bhp.
How much of an improvement can I expect over stock pads?
You can expect up to a 15% improvement in braking performance compared to standard OEM brake pads.
Do these pads come with shims?
Yes, EBC pads are supplied with shims for noise reduction, and they also feature chamfered edges.
What does ECE R90 certified mean?
ECE R90 certification is a European standard ensuring that the performance of the aftermarket brake pad meets or exceeds that of the original equipment (OE) part it replaces.
How do I bed in my new EBC Green Stuff pads?
A proper bedding-in procedure is crucial. Typically, this involves a series of moderate stops from medium speed without coming to a complete halt, allowing the pads and rotors to mate. Always refer to the specific instructions provided with the pads or your vehicle manual.
Will these pads wear out my brake discs quickly?
The Green Stuff compound is designed to be relatively soft and not overly hard on brake discs, helping to preserve rotor life compared to harder compounds.
Troubleshooting
Brake noise (squealing or grinding)
Ensure shims are correctly installed. A proper bedding-in procedure can also help eliminate noise. If noise persists, check for rotor runout or debris trapped in the caliper.
Reduced braking performance
Verify that the bedding-in procedure was completed correctly. Check for brake fluid leaks, worn rotors, or caliper issues. Ensure the pads are the correct fitment for your vehicle.
Excessive dust
While Green Stuff pads are low dust, some dust is normal. Ensure wheels are cleaned regularly. If dust is unusually excessive, check for proper pad bedding or potential issues with the braking system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Bedding-In: New brake pads require a proper bedding-in procedure to achieve optimal performance. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from medium speed, allowing the pads and rotors to mate correctly. Consult the specific bedding-in instructions provided with the pads or with your vehicle service manual.
- Cleaning: Clean the brake system components periodically during regular maintenance. Use a brake cleaner spray suitable for automotive use. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on the brake components.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. Replace them when the friction material reaches the minimum thickness specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
