EBC Greenstuff Front Brake Pads
2011–2016 Scion tC2
DP21792
Overview:
The EBC Greenstuff Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2011 to 2016 Scion tC2, delivering enhanced braking performance for premium street driving. These pads provide a higher initial brake effect, giving drivers immediate confidence from the first application of the brake pedal. Designed to operate effectively at temperatures up to 600°C (1100°F), the Greenstuff pads offer improved stopping power while maintaining excellent durability and reliability for everyday driving conditions.
Ideal for lighter sport compact vehicles like the Scion tC2, these pads strike a balance between performance and comfort, making them a popular choice for drivers seeking better braking response without sacrificing street-friendly characteristics.
Key Features:
The EBC Greenstuff Front Brake Pads combine advanced materials and design to deliver superior braking performance with minimal compromise. Key features include:
- High initial brake effect for confident stopping power
- Effective performance up to 600°C (1100°F) to reduce heat fade
- Minimal dust generation compared to standard pads, with dust that washes off easily
- Improved stopping power tailored for lighter sport compact vehicles
- Balanced friction coefficient of approximately 0.55 for consistent braking feel
- Designed to reduce rotor vibration and shimming through controlled dust production
- Durable construction for extended pad life under street driving conditions
- Includes both left and right front pads for complete axle replacement
Construction & Design:
The Greenstuff pads feature a proprietary friction material blend that balances performance and longevity. The compound is engineered to provide strong initial bite and consistent friction throughout the braking range. Unlike some high-performance pads that generate excessive dust or noise, the Greenstuff pads minimize dust output and produce dust that is easier to clean off, helping to maintain wheel appearance.
The backing plates are precision-engineered to fit the Scion tC2’s front calipers perfectly, ensuring proper alignment and even wear. The pads are designed to withstand the thermal demands of spirited street driving, reducing the risk of brake fade during repeated stops.
Performance & Sound
The EBC Greenstuff pads deliver a confident and responsive braking feel from the moment the pedal is pressed. Their high initial friction coefficient ensures quick engagement, which is especially beneficial in urban and suburban driving scenarios. While all brake pads produce some dust and noise, these pads are formulated to minimize both, providing a quieter and cleaner braking experience compared to many aftermarket options.
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 2011–2016 Scion tC2. No modifications to the calipers or rotors are necessary. It is recommended to inspect rotors for wear and replace or resurface them if needed to ensure optimal pad performance and longevity. Bedding-in the pads properly after installation will maximize braking efficiency and minimize initial dust generation.
What's Included:
- One pair of front brake pads (left and right sides)
- Installation instructions (if applicable)
Ideal For:
These brake pads are ideal for Scion tC2 owners seeking an upgrade from OEM pads to improve street braking performance without the drawbacks of excessive dust or noise. They suit drivers who want reliable, confident stopping power for daily driving, commuting, and light spirited driving. For heavier or higher horsepower vehicles, EBC recommends their Redstuff pads for even greater performance and reduced dust.
