EBC Premier Quality Reg 90 Approved Replacement Disc Brake Pads

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 motor cars 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

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.

EBC V2 Redstuff

EBC’s high performance road compound, the next grade up from Greenstuff, Redstuff pads deliver unparalleled stopping power up to a blistering 750°C, making them extremely suitable for cars such as M3, Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru Impreza etc. Recommended for road cars with 200+ BHP.

EBC’s entry level race material Yellowstuff has slightly lower friction than Greenstuff but with longer lifetime and slightly higher temperature resistance being effective up to over 800 degrees centigrade. The material has been used by many TRD development cars and racers alike, including Martin Bell in his championship winning BMW. Yellow is the choice for that extra percentage of life over and above our Greenstuff and Redstuff range. Yellowstuff is intended for short circuit races of 20 to 30 lap nature, see our Bluestuff for longer races. Yellowstuff is our recommended pad for trackday use.

EBC Bluestuff

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 drivers 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 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 GD & TGD Series (Track & Street)

EBC’s latest addition to the family, the new TGD discs, are British cast 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 trackday use. New 4-spot drill pattern shows difference with standard 3-spot GD series. Together with V4 Greenstuff which help to reduce rotor temperatures, you will be hard pressed to find a better standard size disc/pad combo for your car.

EBC GD Series (Street)

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