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.
On rockauto, Raybestos sells the element 3 rotor and brake and rotor kit. Basically all I use for my brake changes now. Great stopping power, and pads last a good while also. Highly recomend Raybestos element 3.
For aftermarket pads, Raybestos have had very good fitment and quality, I dig it. Their product line is called like "el3ment" or some such.
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.
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'm jumping in here on red stuff EBCs. They're good for initial bite but have awful brake fade on light applications and are noisy as hell. I've pulled the rears off twice to smear the backing plate in grease just to keep them quiet. Probably should've just replaced them entirely. Not worth.
I went Zimmerman rotors and EBC red, big mistake. They are super noisy.
