Stock brake pads on the Fusion 1.6 Turbo prioritize quiet, low-cost operation over genuine stopping confidence. EBC's Greenstuff 2000 series pads swap that compromise for a higher initial bite, shorter stopping distances, and a pedal feel that inspires confidence from the very first application.
Strong initial bite from the first press. Greenstuff carries a nominal friction coefficient of 0.55, which translates to a 10 to 15 percent improvement in braking over OEM pads. The red brake-in surface coating means safe, effective braking begins immediately after installation, with no lengthy bed-in period before the pads reach working friction levels.
Cleaner wheels without sacrificing friction. No brake pad is completely dust-free, as friction is inherently required to stop a vehicle. Greenstuff generates less dust than most OEM compounds, and what dust it does produce rinses off wheel surfaces far more easily than the stubborn dark deposits left by standard pads.
Environmentally compliant and ECE R90 approved. The Greenstuff 2000 compound contains no lead, copper, or toxic sulfides, meeting current environmental legislation. ECE R90 approval confirms compliance with the European brake safety standard for highway use, making these pads a fully legal OEM replacement in all markets that require it.
Built to stay bonded. EBC uses Nucap NRS hook technology to mechanically bond the friction material to the backing plate. The interlocking hook structure eliminates any chance of delamination under hard braking, providing a more reliable bond than adhesive-only constructions.
