Stock brake pads on the Focus 2.0 Turbo ST prioritize quiet operation and pad longevity over outright stopping performance. EBC Greenstuff 2000 pads flip that balance, delivering a confident initial bite and a nominal 10 to 15 percent improvement in stopping distances while staying compliant with ECE R90 highway safety standards.
High initial brake effect from the first pedal application. Greenstuff compound is formulated with a nominal friction coefficient of 0.55, giving the driver a reassuring, consistent response rather than the soft, built-up feel common to OEM compounds. The red brake-in surface coating accelerates the bedding process so safe braking performance is available immediately after installation.
Reduced dust without sacrificing stopping power. No brake pad is truly dust-free, but Greenstuff generates less dust than most OEM compounds, and what it does produce washes off more easily. The compound also carries improved resistance to heat fade at higher speeds, which matters on spirited canyon runs or B-road driving where the brakes see repeated hard applications.
An environmentally responsible formulation. Greenstuff 2000 contains no lead, copper, or toxic sulfides, meeting current environmental legislation. ECE R90 approval confirms the compound meets the European highway brake safety standard for vehicles that require it.
Secure pad-to-backing bond through NRS technology. EBC uses Nucap NRS hook technology on the backing plate, mechanically anchoring the friction material rather than relying on adhesive alone. This eliminates the risk of friction material separation under sustained heat cycles.
