We love EBC pads as they make some great street performance replacement pads, and also racing ones, too. But with all the colors/level options available, which one is right for you? Read on for a guide for selecting the right EBC brake pads for your SRT, or any vehicle in your fleet. Note: not all these pads are available for the every SRT vehicle, but I wanted to show you the full line-up. Ultimax General Replacement Pads A high friction pad designed for general replacement use on cars, vans and SUV's (4x4s). Using shimmed, chamfered and slotted technology and incorporating EBC’s unique BRAKE-IN coating for super quick pad bed-in. EBC black coded brake pads are a high friction premium quality friction material approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations and as such are an exact equivalent to original equipment pads fitted to your vehicle from the factory - but for far less money. Don’t let the lower price point cloud your view of this superb quality product, these pads will stop your vehicle as fast as any original equipment pad and faster than most aftermarket pads. One brilliant feature of EBC R90 pads is their ability to completely eliminate brake judder and these pads will actually COMPENSATE for mild brake judder after 300-400 miles of use. Nominal friction co-efficient 0.46 with minimal rotor damage and similar dust to original parts. Greenstuff - 2000 Series - Premium Street Pad Premium street sport pad for cars up to 200bhp. General spirited street driving. Designed for premium street driving offering better brake effect up to 600°C (1100°F). EBC Greenstuff has a high initial brake effect and gives drivers confidence from first application of the brake pedal. There is no such thing as a NO DUST pad. The very nature of how a brake works requires that some dust be generated to avoid rotor vibration (shimmying). The EBC pad creates less dust and dust is more easily washed off than most. All pads create more dust as they are bedding in especially if rotors are worn. Nominal friction coefficient 0.55. For heavier faster cars and vehicles above 200bhp we strongly recommend Redstuff which DOES offer much less dust. Redstuff Ceramic - 3000 Series - For Highly Tuned Cars and Fast Street Superstreet formula for cars above 200bhp and fastest street driving This material is a Kevlar® fibre based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles. If you have previously tried EBC redstuff (pre-ceramic compound) this material is light years ahead. It lasts longer, it brakes better and is quieter. Being a hard wearing pad, bed-in times can be as long as 1000 miles and drivers must be patient until the pad takes up the shape of their disc (brake rotor). 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 passenger car/sedan/sport compact/hot hatch 13 metres quicker than OEM pads from 100mph/160kph. Features EBC Brake-In surface coating which conditions rotor surface and accelerates pad bed-in. Nominal friction coefficient 0.5 with approx. 50% dust reduction compared to other pads. Yellowstuff - 4000 "R" Series - Full Race Pad Ultra high friction pads for race use but perfectly safe for street use. 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 that can be used on the highway. 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 both street and track. This new formulation has been used by numerous championship race and rally drivers and is truly a milestone in brake pad material development. Nominal friction coefficient 0.5 with zero rotor damage and similar dust to original pads. Bluestuff - 5000 Series - Endurance Race Pads EBC Bluestuff is the longest lasting of the EBC brake pad materials family and is designed for heavier and faster sedans/passenger cars/muscle cars in track use. Bluestuff has a nominal friction coefficient of 0.40, good temperature stability up to 750°C (1300°F) and higher, with significant lifetime making it capable of withstanding 3-5 hour duration races. Bluestuff material has been used successfully on larger Porsche cars in racing and such as the Emotional Engineering Monaro competing in the British GT Championships and FIA GT World Championships. The material has also found great success being used on the Drivers Dreamdays which includes Ferrari cars, Subaru and Lamborghini. As always, if you have any questions or need help finding the right pad for your ride, just post here or contact us. Thanks, Lisa.
just to add a bit I spoke with EBC before making my choice in pads and the reds will be a bit harder on the rotors but will last longer. The yellows will,according to them, do minimal damage to the rotors but will wear out faster then the reds. But they will stop better. I went with the yellows
I have been using the Red's on my SRT for a while now and have to say I love them...they stop great in daily driving and they have almost no dust. They also were very capable at the track as well as I experienced no fade.
