How much dust do these EBC Greenstuff pads create?

EBC Greenstuff pads are formulated to create less dust than many stock brake pads. While some dust is necessary for proper brake function and to avoid rotor vibration, the dust from these pads is generally easier to wash off.

What is the temperature rating for these brake pads?

These Greenstuff 2000 Series pads are designed to perform well up to 600 degrees Celsius, which is about 1100 degrees Fahrenheit. This helps prevent brake fade during spirited street driving.

Do these brake pads come with everything needed for installation?

The EBC Greenstuff brake pads are sold as a set for your rear axle. It's always a good idea to check your vehicle's specific requirements, but typically hardware like shims and clips are either included or should be reused from your old pads if they are in good condition.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to get a little more out of your BMW's braking system for spirited street driving, the EBC Greenstuff 2000 Series rear brake pads are a solid choice. These pads are designed to give you a noticeable improvement in stopping power right from the first pedal press, giving you more confidence when you need it most. They're a popular option for lighter sport compacts and are well-known for their performance on the street.

The Greenstuff pads are built to handle temperatures up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, which helps reduce heat fade during normal driving. While no brake pad is truly dust-free, these are formulated to create less dust than many stock pads, and the dust that is produced is generally easier to wash off. You'll find they fit right into your existing caliper setup, making for a straightforward installation when it's time to replace your rear pads.

For heavier, faster vehicles or those pushing beyond 200 horsepower, EBC suggests their Redstuff pads for even less dust. However, for many 5 Series BMWs, the Greenstuff pads offer a good balance of improved performance and manageable dust for everyday driving.
