TBF it appears he tried to buy EBC Greenstuff which are great pads and got scammed by Amazon. The red paint is normally a friction enhancing paint to aid faster break in.
EBC pads have break-in compound that cuts the rotor to a clean slate so you can preform the correct breakin procedure, some 160kmh stops to heat up and bake the rotor and pad well
Ebc green stuffs, great performing pad. Run them in one of my current cars as well as many previous cars. they’ve all been noisy and dusty but have held up to track days just fine.
EBC pads are awesome and definitely not cheap. That is a special break in coating that EBC uses. I’ve had several sets and been very happy with them although I do get a little squeak with the yellow stuff.
Anyways, its a good working solid car that needed tires and rotors/pads that i've already done.
Go to Summit Racing order EBC new rotor and pad kit and thank me later.
I don't trust most shops to do the right thing with brake work. I have run the EBC stuff on Avalon and GS350 as well as many motorcycles.... Great product get street oriented pads for long life.
When I got car had drilled slotted rotors and brake performance was horrible. I’d suggest this kit to anyone and I have white rims also. At least one wash a week keeps brake dust at bay. Stopping performance for stock calipers and rotor size couldn’t be better.
Replaced the rotors and went with EBC yellow stuff pads. They don't look quite that bad, but 2 years later they're hardly looking like clean swept rotor surfaces.
I recently purchased EBC BSD rotors and EBC RedStuff. The front rotors ended up with an unknown lead time, so the rep reached out and suggested DBA 4000 T3s. I dropped the car off at the dealership as they'd agreed to cover the labor under warranty. I stopped by yesterday and was told they were having some issues with the install and that the pads didn't come with hardware... the tech was already left for the day I swung by again today. I was told that the holes in the pads were slightly larger than the pins, which allows for the pads to shift up and down. I took it home and confirmed everything is good in one direction, but when I pop it in reverse and hit the brakes, I hear a metal to metal click as the pads shift up and hit the caliper. The same is true when I put it back in drive and hit the brakes.
I have ran EBC before and they were meh even on my 120hp Miata.
