Bluestuff 

A Great all round sport and race pad, revised to a new improved formula in 2021.

Bluestuff ⁃ Another EBC 'Hybrid' material exhibits a 0.52μ stable friction once bedded stable up to a slightly higher 550℃/1000℃ than its sister compound yellow but with 30% longer life than yellow.

Blue has been a trackday favourite for years and has recently been modified to halve its bed in time on the track and is the spec pad for the BMW Cup series. New formula is copper free to confirm to upcoming environmental legislations

  • 0.52μ stable friction once bedded
  • Strong initial bite ,work from cold
  • Zero rotor damage
  • Copper free for ECO compliance

Orangestuff

Developed as a full race pad with a high friction level that increases with temperature.

This material works best on light to middleweight high powered race cars where a higher fade resistance and wear life is desirable compared to Yellowstuff. Despite having an acceptable cold friction making this material street usable, the hot friction is deemed too high for ECE R90 approval and therefore this material is not road legal within Europe.

All EBC compounds are performance enhanced with CERAMIC GRANULES making them a true premium upgrade pad range for all vehicles.

Redstuff

EBC Redstuff is a premium street pad fully R90 approved with low dust and ultra quiet smooth braking. Top favorite with Euro and Asian cars for fast street use where quiet braking and low dust are target requirements. Pads are fully shimmed chamfered and slotted and arrive with pad surface Brake-in coating to accelerate pad bedding after install.

  • 0.42 stable friction once bedded
  • Strong initial bite ,work from cold
  • Zero rotor damage
  • Not for race use !!
  • Copper free for ECO compliance

Racing RP-1 Track and Race

EBC Racing's RP‑1 compound is an ultra‑high performance track and race pad designed for high performance vehicles driven hard on track. RP‑1 has a very stable friction coefficient of 0.45μ up to and beyond 750℃, making it an excellent performer for even the most demanding vehicle applications.

Due to its relatively high friction coefficient, RP‑1 is not Reg 90 homologated for road use within Europe and is therefore illegal for use on the public road. Unlike some other race pads on the market, RP‑1 offers a usable cold friction of 0.35μ below 100℃ meaning it can be safely used as a road pad for non‑European markets where Reg 90 homologation is not mandatory. At 100℃ the friction gently climbs to 0.45μ and stays there up to and beyond the designed upper working temperature range of 750℃.

RP‑1 boasts good pad life but the unique characteristic of RP‑1 is that it boasts exceptionally low disc wear, lower than virtually all other competitor race materials tested by EBC Racing. RP‑1 has a progressive pedal feel with unrivalled modulation. RP‑1 does not have the snatchy pedal feel or high levels of noise often associated with other race pads on the market.

Compared to EBC Racing's other track pad RP‑X, RP‑1 has a 25% reduction in friction coefficient across its working temperature range making RP‑1 the more suitable choice for light‑medium weight cars, cars with non EBC Big Brake Kits fitted, or vehicles with no ABS. For heavy or inherently under‑servoed vehicles which suit a very aggressive pad, EBC Racing's other track material RP‑X may be preferable.

Yellowstuff

Yellowstuff ⁃ A first in a new range of 'Hybrid' materials that can be safely and legally used on worlds roads being R90 approved UK are a high friction upgrade pad for all fast street use and can also be used on the track with proper bedding.

Yellowstuff has been the flagship pad by EBC for over a decade and gives instant brake response, great feel and modulations with silk-smooth noise free braking and was also improved in 2021 to be copper free and conform to all new legislations for the environment and our pads are fully shimmed chamfered and slotted .

Yellow arrives with pad surface Brake-in coating to accelerate pad bedding after install.

  • 0.48 stable friction once bedded
  • Strong initial bite ,work from cold
  • Zero rotor damage
  • Short to medium race lifetime
  • Copper free for ECO compliance

RP0-X Track and Race

EBC Racings' RP‑X compound is an ultra‑high performance track and race pad designed for performance vehicles driven hard on track and for dedicated race cars. RP‑X has a very stable friction coefficient of 0.55μ up to and beyond 850℃, making it an excellent performer for even the most demanding vehicle applications.


RP‑X also has a high friction level from cold, requiring no warmup to achieve maximum braking effect which makes this material well suited for sprint race and hill climb events. Although RP‑X is not R90 homologated for use on the public roads in EU member states, the fact this material possesses excellent cold performance means RP‑X can be safely used for driving to/from motorsport events (where local laws permit)

Ultimax OE Replacements

The perfect quality daily driver pad option for all modern cars, petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric.

These premium quality British made pads are designed to meet or exceed the performance of any OEM pad and are fully R90 approved. The EBC Brakes Ultimax range are long lasting, high friction pads designed for normal urban driving at all speeds on prestige cars, 4x4 and light trucks.

  • Copper free for ECO compliance

Ultimax pads feature centre slots, edge chamfers and Brake‑In surface coating to condition discs after installation and help to quickly deliver stopping power on new pads. Hardware and wear leads included where fitted as standard. Tests at the MIRA research facility prove that these pads typically stop faster then OE.

NOT FOR TRACK USE.

Greenstuff

EBC Brakes Greenstuff is a high friction Kevlar based pad compound designed to improve stopping power on lighter cars such as hot hatches and sport saloons in spirited highway driving.

Fully R90 approved the Greenstuff range delivers improved brake response from hot or cold and emits less dust than equivalent semi‑metallic pads.

  • Copper free for ECO compliance
