Bought my Zaino from them and got a brochure. May be worth looking at.

EBC BRAKES Kevlar "Greenstuff" Brake Pads!


AT LAST...... a high performance sport brake pad that can be used on the highway without the drawbacks of a full race pad! Braking comes on strong from first pedal application, delivering maximum performance right up to a blistering 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use these for relatively low speed track days, but the lifetime should be monitored closely. Greenstuff pads are British made, using special materials combined with Dupont Kevlar fibers, at extremely competitive prices. Unlike other pads, these contain no carbon black or metallics which create dust, generally squeak or make noise, and can cause increased wear or other rotor problems. These are the ULTIMATE performance driving pads, running CLEAN, QUIET, and ready for heavy-duty action with up to 30% more friction than normal. Available for most popular USA built sports cars and imports. Call today regarding your specific application!

NO NOISE! * ALMOST NO DUST! * UP TO 30% MORE STOPPING POWER!

EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE PRICES!


EBC BRAKES "Redstuff" Pads!

A semi-metallic track pad for heavier street use, or light duty track days. Slightly lower friction level than the Greenstuff pads, but they deliver strong, "fade free" stopping power up to a blistering 1300 degrees F. Always check pad wear before returning from track days on public roads. Better yet, have a spare EBC set and change pads before highway use!

Yellowstuff pads offer a similar application as the Redstuff, but with longer life. Their best effect is from 150 degrees to 1500 degrees. But still..... zero rotor damage. Definitely a RACE pad and not recommended for street use.

Bluestuff pads are again similar to Redstuff or Yellowstuff, but offer still HIGHER wear life in the 150 to 1500 degree range. This could be classified as an "endurance" racing pad.

EBC BRAKES has been the number one choice for sport motorcycle brakes the world over for 21 years. In the USA, these brake products have become the standard by which all others are judged, with sales of literally millions of pad sets for high performance motorcycles. The same, advanced Kevlar technology has now been applied to the automotive market, bringing you the best in modern sport brakes for high performance cars, and soon trucks.

Why Kevlar?

This world famous Dupont fiber is used in bulletproof vests and the Space Shuttle. Very expensive, but it

I use these pads on one of my racecars. Good life for me on the track. No noise, good stopping. They are NOT dust free. But here's the deal for you dust free people. For brakes to work they have to wear. When they wear you get dust. The best stopping pads wear quickly and dust like crazy.

You have to make up your mind. Do you want okay stopping and long pad life and no dust. Or do you want great stopping , short pad life and dust.

As the man used to say on TV. You pays your money and you gets your choice.

For heavier trucks, I would highly suggest Hawk brake pads.

They have a specialty line for heavy duty trucks. For road racing, Hawk HT-10s or Carbotech Panther XPs.
