Material	The EBC chemical interlayer system is used on the Bluestuff NDX brake pads which offer triple shear strength over non-interlayer versions.	EBC Yellowstuff brake pads are made using high friction aramid fiber which is resistant to brake rotor vibration. The unique composition allows high braking friction when brakes are cold.	Redstuff ceramic brake pads are made from Kevlar fiber compounds with increased ceramic particles which make them wear-resistant, help resist heat and dust buildup, and last longer than OEM.	Orangestuff brake pads are made from a race-bred compound with zero brake fade, which can withstand up to 1400 Fahrenheit. You won’t have to change your brake rotors frequently as it is made from low metal content.	These pads are made from a low-metallic aramid compound that reduces rotor wear by up to 50%,	It is made using fade-free brake material (carbon granule) as it can withstand a wide range of operational temperatures. It is rotor-friendly, noiseless, and produces less dust.
Construction	A high amount of vee grooves are used to catch a large amount of debris due to track use. Pads come new with heat-scorched and rough surfaces to enhance bedding with rough and worn rotors.	Features a built-in noise-reducing shim for a quieter ride.			Features a built-in noise-reducing shim for a quieter ride.	Features a Nucap insulator shim and piston insert for noiseless operation. It also consists of vee groves for better cooling and removing dust. EBC Extra-Duty brake pads have a Nucap® NRS® hook pad retention system which has a bond strength 5 times more than any conventional pads.
Protection	The side edges of the brake pads and the backing plates are blue powder-coated, protecting them from corrosion. The surface of the brake pads has chamfered edges to minimize contact with the rotor lip as it can cause the brakes to squeal over time				The side edges of the brake pads and the backing plates are black powder coated, protecting them from corrosion.

These rotors are made from high-quality G3000 castings. They have an anti-corrosive coating of Nitrotherm.	RK Series brake rotor kit has an anti-corrosive coating of Black Geomet and Nitrotherm. To minimize brake shudder, heat cracking, and high-frequency vibration, these are designed from high-quality G3000 spec cast iron.
Construction	EBC’s Fully floating 2-piece brake rotor features an outer ring that expands according to heat which helps to reduce stress and increase the rotor’s life. The anti-rack spring clip in each bobbin assembly makes sure that the operation is quiet while driving.	The rotor surface has angled slots that allow for superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases. This helps to reduce the stopping distance even during wet weather conditions. These slots also improve air circulation and offer increased pad bite and heat dissipation. Two sets of slots guarantee even pad wear, produce flat, parallel wear and prevent ridges from developing on the rotor's surface.	The vee slot design helps to remove dirt, dust, and gases from the center to the outside of the rotor. To deliver supreme performance, these are designed using an exclusive disc alloy construction.	The rotor surface features angled slots that allow for superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases. 3GD Brake rotors include a vented center with a wider aperture that allows air to travel between the two sides for improved cooling. Likewise, the round indents on the surface of the rotor improve cooling. It also has built-in noise-reducing shims.
