EBC Greenstuff Front Brake Pads

2012–2016 Scion iQ

DP21295

Overview:

The EBC Greenstuff Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2012 to 2016 Scion iQ, delivering enhanced braking performance tailored for premium street driving. These pads provide a high initial bite and improved stopping power, giving drivers confidence from the very first application of the brake pedal. Designed to operate effectively at temperatures up to 600°C (1100°F), the Greenstuff pads offer reliable performance during everyday driving and spirited street use.

Ideal for lighter sport compact vehicles like the Scion iQ, these brake pads balance strong braking capability with reduced dust generation, helping to keep wheels cleaner compared to many conventional pads. Whether navigating city streets or tackling winding roads, the EBC Greenstuff pads provide consistent, fade-resistant braking performance.

Key Features:

Engineered for drivers seeking improved braking without sacrificing cleanliness or comfort, the EBC Greenstuff pads incorporate advanced friction materials and design benefits:

• High initial brake effect for immediate pedal response
• Operates effectively up to 600°C (1100°F) to reduce heat fade
• Minimal dusting compared to standard brake pads, with dust that washes off easily
• Improved stopping power tailored for lighter sport compact vehicles
• Nominal friction coefficient of 0.55 for confident braking
• Includes both left and right front brake pads for complete axle replacement
• Designed to reduce rotor vibration and brake shimming
• Free shipping included for added value

Construction & Design:

The EBC Greenstuff pads utilize a proprietary friction compound that balances aggressive braking with reduced dust production. This compound is formulated to maintain consistent friction levels under a wide range of temperatures, minimizing brake fade during repeated stops. The pads are precision-engineered to fit the Scion iQ’s front calipers perfectly, ensuring even wear and reliable performance.

While no brake pad can be completely dust-free due to the nature of friction braking, the Greenstuff material produces less dust than many competitors, and the dust generated is finer and easier to clean. This helps maintain wheel appearance and reduces maintenance effort.

Performance & Sound

The Greenstuff pads deliver a strong initial bite and consistent stopping power, enhancing driver confidence in everyday and spirited driving scenarios. They are designed to minimize brake fade during moderate performance use, maintaining effective braking even under heat stress. Additionally, these pads operate quietly with minimal noise or vibration, contributing to a comfortable driving experience.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the EBC Greenstuff Front Brake Pads is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory pads on the 2012–2016 Scion iQ. No modifications to the brake system are required. For best results, it is recommended to inspect rotors for wear and replace or resurface them if necessary before installing new pads. Proper bedding-in procedures should be followed to optimize pad performance and longevity.

What's Included:

• One pair of EBC Greenstuff front brake pads (left and right sides)
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

These brake pads are perfect for Scion iQ owners who want enhanced braking performance for daily driving and occasional spirited use without the excessive dust and noise associated with some high-performance pads. They are especially suited for lighter sport compact vehicles where balanced braking and cleanliness are priorities. For drivers with heavier or more powerful vehicles above 200 bhp, EBC recommends considering their Redstuff pads for even lower dust levels.
