EBC Premier Quality Reg 90 Approved Replacement Disc Brake Pads

Reg 90 Approved
Made with upgraded NAO series compound
Heavy Duty Street Use

One of the better legislations to come out of Europe was ECE R-90, which is a brake safety regulation outlawing cheap, non conforming friction materials and improving safety on roads in Europe. The new regulation which requires “type testing” of each brand of brakes compared to the original equipment on the exact model of car. It guarantees that products bearing the Reg. 90 standard can be safely purchased by the consumer, being at least equal to the original equipment parts. Whilst the regulation affects only models of motorcars and trucks registered after the 1st January 1999, EBC now manufactures ALL of its standard replacement disc brake pads in this premium grade material, giving customers an added value advantage over lower cost materials.

EBC V4 Greenstuff

Fast/Heavy Street Use
Brake well from cold
Effective to above 650°C
Low dust formula
Generally recommended for cars producing up to 200BHP and / or NOT 4WD

Triple Max Power Award winning Greenstuff are the ultimate performance/fast street brake pads you can get for your hot hatch or sport compact. These pads have a high friction coefficient, great initial bite from cold, right up to a blistering 650 degrees centigrade. Another major benefit of the Greenstuff compound is its award-winning feature of being LOW DUST. Being awarded the UK magazines Autotrade Innovation Award for its low dust features, Greenstuff pads cut down between 60-90% of the dust common with most competitive types of semi-metallic pad on your alloys keeping wheels cleaner and delivering performance at the same time. Greenstuff pads are available for a huge range of cars, SUV’s, light trucks and mini vans.

Brakes for European Cars

BMW / Mercedes style pad – wear lead is purchased as a loose accessory and clips in
VW / Audi style pad – wear lead is Bonded into the pad

European cars are built with high friction brake pads and must be replaced either with original parts or an aftermarket pad, such as EBC Greenstuff, which has a matching friction level (average friction coefficient 0.55). Failure to do this will result in a brake imbalance front to rear on your vehicle.

EBC Greenstuff pads have been type approved on every car they are recommended for and can be considered a perfect replacement for original parts on European cars. This is known as an R90 European brake safety test.

The EBC product even includes wear sensor leads where required. On VW and Audi models the sensors are bonded into the pad and come with your pads.

On BMW and Mercedes models the pad has a wear receptor on the top of the backplate and the wear lead clips into this. It is not necessary to replace this wire at every pad change unless the contactor has activated and is worn.

EBC REDSTUFF CERAMIC

High Performance Road M3, Evo, Impreza etc.
Generally recommended for cars producing over 200BHP and / or 4WD

Since this material was introduced in late 2003, it has received many positive write ups from performance drivers of faster cars such as the Impreza. This is a truly impressive fast road pad for repeated heavy braking. It emits far less dust than semi-metallic pads and has been proven to stop a saloon car 13 metres quicker than OEM pads from 100mph/160kph.

Features EBC Brake-In TM surface coating which conditions rotor surface and accelerates pad bed-in.

Average friction coefficient 0.5

EBC YELLOWSTUFF

Street & Track day
Effective to over 800°C

Although a full race material and capable of high temperature use with very good wear life, this new formulation sets a new trend in race type brake pad compounds. The “bite” from cold is superb which is uncommon with race materials (normally requiring warm-up) and makes this a pad which can be safely used on the highway as well as on the race track. This new formulation was used by numerous championship race and rally drivers in 2004 and is truly a milestone in brake pad material development.

“I fitted a full set, both front and rear to my Subaru Impreza, prior to a trip to the Nurburgring. The pads were bedded in on the way over, approximately 450 miles. During the weekend visit I completed 39 laps, approximately 530 track miles and then another 450 miles back home. Approximate front pad wear was 2 to 2.5mm, still plenty of life left in them. The pads performed excellently on track. On the road, initial cold bite is good. After a couple of applications of the brake pedal the pads are getting to their normal operating temperature and are excellent there after.”

EBC Bluestuff

Endurance Grade
Closed circuit race only
Longer lifetime
Effective to over 800°C

Our endurance grade, longest lasting material Bluestuff has a slightly lower friction coefficient than its counterparts Green, Yellow and Red but delivers far longer life and is suitable for endurance races up to six hours in duration on most types of saloon cars. It is obviously the driver’s responsibility to evaluate the lifetime before undertaking any types of race use.

EBC 4WD (4x4) Sport Utility Vehicle & Light Truck Brakes

More bite, less dust
Effective up to 650°C
Heavy duty long lasting material

More bite, less dust is the theme for EBC’s heavy-duty 6000 series SUV and light truck brakes. The SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) market has exploded in recent years to become more than just Land Rover, Range Rover models and is the main focus of attention of the Detroit manufacturers with a range of fast selling models, ranging from the Ford Explorer, Escape, through to Chevrolet Blazer, Dodge Durango etc.
This exciting new material is also applicable to modern sport trucks such as the F150/250 range. This material was independently tested in the LA CT (Los Angeles City Traffic) test, which is a gruelling 20,000 mile test over one month, through the Los Angeles City Traffic, further proving this material’s outstanding capabilities as a sport pad for this vehicle segment.

EBC SUV Supreme (NEW)

Chamfered and slotted
Factory shimmed with triple layer Wolverine shims
Coated with friction accelerator for fast bed-in

Based on the successful EBC 6000 series formulation a re-worked version of this successful material brings you a longer lasting, totally noise free and dust resistant pad for SUV applications.
The small amount of dust which is evident after thousands of miles of driving with SUV Supreme can be washed away with a simple sponge and water or in any car wash, it does not take aggressive scrubbing or cleaning of the wheels as is common with many semi metallic fibre based pads. Offering up to 90% dust reduction compared to most original and aftermarket pads, the small amount of powdered dust which does appear is simply washed away during a drive through car wash. EBC SUV Supreme pads do not include any steel fibre or ferrous elements and therefore none of the dust etches or adheres to wheel alloys and gone are the days when SUV Supreme pad users will be spending Sunday mornings scrubbing alloy wheels clean.

EBC GD & TGD Series (Track & Street)

Wide aperture grooves
Zinc anti-corrosion coated castings
Special disc alloys UNIQUE to EBC
Dimple hole construction
Balanced geometry

EBC’s Turbo Groove Brake Discs feature a unique wide “high volume” slot design that runs to the outside edge of the disc allowing the dust, debris, gasses and carbon deposits to be “spun off” from the braking disc surface, further improving braking. The blind holes prevent cracking and help to break down surface gasses of the brake disc/rotor to further improve braking under heavy load.

Made in Europe and machined using a high quality alloy designed to run up to 800/900 degrees centigrade (glowing red hot) and still run true and stay straight. For light race, rally and track day use. Together with V4 Greenstuff, Redstuff Ceramic or Yellowstuff, which helps to reduce rotor temperatures, you will be hard pressed to find a better standard size disc/pad combo for your car.

Turbo Groove Discs are available for many Japanese, European & US cars. The EBC Turbo Groove represents a high performance brake disc with good “behind wheel” looks, at an affordable price range.

New EBC Ultimax Sport Discs (USR Series)

Wide aperture grooves
Black anti-corrosion coated castings
Special disc alloys UNIQUE to EBC
Quiet slot pattern
Balanced geometry

The latest super quiet slot pattern for prestige and premium cars requiring discs that are almost totally silent featuring the latest chemically applied corrosion resistant black finish.

This black coating has been tested with the industry standard salt spray test and proven to last anywhere between 2 and 5 years depending on conditions and represents the ultimate in disc rust prevention. The illustration shows a disc after it has been used for a period of time and the pad has rubbed off the black coating in the braking area.

Ultimax Sports Discs are available for many Japanese & European cars. Made in Europe with high quality iron castings.
