Stock brake pads on the Focus RS prioritize quiet, low-dust commuting over the confident, progressive feel this car demands. EBC Greenstuff 2000 pads deliver a high initial bite from the first pedal application, closing the gap between factory pads and the sharper braking response that RS drivers expect on fast public roads.
High initial brake effect from first application. The Greenstuff compound produces a nominal friction coefficient of 0.55, translating to a 10-15% improvement in stopping distances over stock pads. Pedal feel is confident and progressive, so there are no surprises under hard braking on canyon runs or spirited backroad driving.
ECE R90 certified for highway use. EBC Greenstuff 2000 carries full ECE R90 approval, meaning it meets European brake safety legislation for on-road use. The formula contains no lead, copper, or toxic sulfides, satisfying current environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing friction performance.
Improved fade resistance at speed. The compound resists heat fade better than standard street pads, keeping braking consistent across repeated high-speed stops. While Greenstuff is not the optimal choice for sustained track sessions, many drivers have run it successfully in hillclimb events and lighter vehicles in competition.
Ready to work straight out of the box. A red brake-in surface coating pre-conditions the pad face so safe braking is available immediately after installation, cutting the typical bedding time required with bare compounds. Nucap NRS hook technology bonds the friction material to the backing plate mechanically, eliminating any risk of delamination under repeated thermal cycling.
Product Benefits
- High Initial Bite: Nominal 0.55 friction coefficient delivers confident, consistent feel from the first pedal application.
- 10-15% Stopping Improvement: Measurable reduction in stopping distances compared to OEM pads.
- ECE R90 Approved: Complies with European highway brake safety legislation for 2016-2018 Focus RS fitment.
- Eco-Friendly Formula: No lead, copper, or toxic sulfides in the compound.
- Reduced Dust: Lower dust output than many performance compounds, and what dust does form washes off easily.
- Red Brake-In Coating: Pre-applied surface treatment enables safe braking immediately after installation.
- Nucap NRS Technology: Mechanical hook system bonds friction material to the backing plate for a secure, long-lasting pad-to-plate connection.
- Heat Fade Resistance: Improved thermal stability over stock pads for repeated hard stops at higher road speeds.
About EBC Brakes: EBC Brakes develops and manufactures brake pads, rotors, and clutch components across a wide range of compounds tailored to specific driving applications, from daily street use through club racing and full competition. Each compound grade is engineered to a defined friction and temperature window so drivers can match the pad to how the car is actually used.
