Stock brake pads on the Ford Escape prioritize quiet, low-dust daily driving at the expense of bite and fade resistance. EBC's Greenstuff 2000 front pads deliver a 10-15% improvement in stopping distances over OEM pads while staying compliant with ECE R90 highway safety standards, making them a direct-fit upgrade for 2013-2020 Escape 1.6L and 2.0L models, including 4WD variants.
High initial bite from the first pedal application. The Greenstuff compound carries a nominal friction coefficient of 0.55, giving drivers confident, linear response without needing to pump or modulate the pedal to build pressure. That consistency matters most in everyday stop-and-go driving and highway emergency situations.
A cleaner wheel finish, longer. Greenstuff generates less brake dust than most OEM compounds, and what dust it does produce washes off easily. The red brake-in surface coating accelerates pad bedding immediately after installation, so there is no extended break-in period before the pads reach full effectiveness.
Environmentally compliant construction. EBC formulates Greenstuff 2000 without lead, copper, or toxic sulfides, satisfying current and pending environmental legislation. ECE R90 approval confirms the compound meets the European brake safety regulation required for highway use.
Secure pad bond under all conditions. Each pad uses Nucap NRS hook technology, a mechanical interlocking system between the friction material and backing plate that eliminates delamination risk and maintains a consistent contact surface throughout the pad's service life.
