EBC Greenstuff 2000 Series Sport replacement brake pads offers a better braking power at real world driving speeds and are thus formulated to provide longer pad life instead of autobahn grip. In government R90 tests of replacement brake components, EBC pads have been shown to deliver equivalent performance, bedding, cold temperature operation, and speed sensitivity versus original manufacturer parts. EBC's patented brake pad material also ensures the pads are soft enough to avoid brake squealing but not so soft that longevity becomes compromised. If you're installing Greenstuff 2000 Series Sport Brake Pads with new brake rotors, you'll find down the road when the time comes to replace the pads again, the rotors will still be usable enough to last through another set of brake pads. And if you're installing EBC pads without replacing rotors, pre-chamfered pad edges will mate perfectly against the grooves and lips that normally form on the rotor surfaces, so the meat of the pad makes contact against the rotor center where it counts. These pads also feature a red top layer coating designed to scour glaze and hot spots off worn brake rotors during the break-in process. The coating also serves to provide a higher level of grip to counteract low friction levels that exist before bedding is complete. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed rather than transferred as squealing noise, even under the most extreme weather conditions.
