Choosing the right stuff
The best brake pad in the world for classic cars
These brake pads are the most cost effective way to improve your braking performance and keep your wheels clean
Greenstuff pads use the very latest in friction materials technology to bring you:
- Highgrip - REAL stopping power!
- Instant bite from cold
- Anti-fade with high temperature operating range
- Cleaner wheels with reduced black dust
- Less disc wear with Kevlar based compound
- Break-in coating for rapid bedding
- Superb quality - 100% British Made
Greenstuff award winning upgrade pads are ideal for older brake systems and are used by thousands of classic car owners throughout the World
2000 SERIES - FAST ROAD & GENERAL USE FOR ALL CARS
This world famous roadsport material is designed to give high grip, high heat tolerance (up to 550°C) and reduced brake dust. Greenstuff brake pads have strong brake effect from cold and eliminate brake judder/vibration. Medium+ lifetime.
6000 SERIES - HEAVY DUTY USE ON 4X4's AND SUV'S
completely new heavy duty version of the successful Greenstuff compound which offers enhanced brake performance, much improved lifetime and up to 90% dust reduction over conventional semi-metallic pads
3000 SERIES - FOR HARDER & FASTER DRIVEN ROAD CARS
eg: 200bhp+, 4WD Turbos, M's & EVO's etc - a highly advanced ceramic fibre formulation for highly tuned cars or fastest street driving. Pads have medium to good brake effect from cold, excellent fade resistance (up to 750°C) and medium+ lifetime.4000 SERIES - COMPETITION GRADE PAD - ALL CARS
For race and extreme road use. A highly durable formulation with a high friction co-efficient. Great heat tolerance (stable to 900°C) and is EBC's most grippy compound. Suitable for all sport & competition cars.5000 SERIES - RACE ONLY COMPOUND
Designed for endurance racing; NOT a road pad.
Effective up to 900°C with zero disc damage and the longest lifetime in the EBC range. Moderate friction level only across the heat range.ULTIMAX SERIES: REPLACEMENT FOR OE PADS
A quality replacement with lower dust and better friction the OE. Temp range 0° to 420°C. Great for eliminating judder. Often specified for rear brakes on many performance cars.
DRIVE WITH CAUTION after installing to allow pads and/or discs to 'bed-in' for the first 300 miles. During bed-in brakes may be less effective until components 'seat' correctly. Drive with caution until full brake efficiency is observed. Over-heavy use during the bed-in period may cause surface carbonisation and produce black dusting.
BRAKE PADS should be inspected for wear every 3000 miles as varying load and use conditions can greatly influence pad wear rates. Badly worn or totally worn brake pads can cause partial or total loss of brake and may result in an accident. Some products may last longer than or even less miles than other types of brake pad when used in the same conditions. Pads should be changed when friction material thickness reaches 1/8th inch (3mm). Do not fit used 'anti-rattle' shims with new pads and do please clean discs of any deposits from old pads.
BRAKE DISCS . When fitting or refitting discs (rotors) at any time it is vital that the mating surfaces of disc and hub are scrupulously clean. The tiniest speck of rust, swarf, or dirt may cause run out and judder after 2-3000 miles. Similarly securing bolts/nuts should be torqued correctly and equally to vehicle manufacturers specification. Caliper pistons should always be checked for equal performance/movement. Sticking pistons are sure to cause distortion. The fitted disc should be checked for perimeter run-out by dial gauge or similar. Maximum acceptable run-out on a disc is 2/1000ths of an inch (0.05mm). All discs are carefully boxed and each box carries detailed fitting instructions and checking procedures. PLEASE READ.
ALWAYS USE NEW PADS ON NEW DISCS
Although every effort has been made to research, develop and test brake products for high performance use, no warranty exists on products used on race tracks or for competition use of any kind. Users must satisfy themselves by meticulous testing as to the suitability of any particular grade of brake material with regard to performance and durability and it's suitability for their chosen use.
