Part #: ED91855

Overview

The EBC Extra Duty Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota 86 models, delivering exceptional braking performance for both street and spirited driving. Manufactured at EBC’s UK EFI Bristol factory, these pads utilize advanced eco-friendly technology to provide unusually high friction levels while maintaining smooth and predictable brake feel. Designed to offer strong braking response from the very first application, even when cold, these pads are ideal for drivers seeking reliable stopping power without compromising daily drivability.

With a race-proven friction material capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 1400°F, the Extra Duty pads ensure consistent performance during heavy braking, towing, or steep downhill descents. Their versatility is further demonstrated by rigorous winter testing in harsh wet and cold conditions, where many performance pads fall short. This makes them a dependable choice for a wide range of driving environments and conditions.

Key Features

These brake pads incorporate cutting-edge materials and design elements to enhance safety, durability, and comfort. Key features include:

• High-friction carbon granule-based compound for superior stopping power
• Strong brake effect from cold, ensuring immediate response
• Rotor-friendly formulation that minimizes wear and extends rotor life
• Low dust generation to keep wheels cleaner
• Virtually noiseless operation for a quiet driving experience
• Capable of sustained performance at temperatures above 1400°F (760°C)
• Supplied with revolutionary NUCAP piston insert shims to reduce brake judder and noise
• Eco-friendly manufacturing process reducing environmental impact

Construction & Design

The Extra Duty pads feature a proprietary carbon granule-based friction material that balances aggressive braking with rotor compatibility. This advanced compound is developed through extensive motorsport experience, ensuring durability under extreme conditions without sacrificing street manners. The pads are precision-engineered to fit perfectly on the front calipers of the BRZ, FR-S, and Toyota 86, maintaining consistent contact and pressure distribution for reliable braking performance.

Each set includes NUCAP piston insert shims, a patented technology from EBC that helps dampen vibrations and reduce noise, contributing to a smoother and quieter brake feel. The combination of high-quality materials and innovative design results in a brake pad that performs well in a variety of driving scenarios, from daily commuting to spirited canyon runs.

Performance & Sound

These brake pads deliver strong initial bite and consistent stopping power throughout their operating temperature range. The carbon-based compound ensures excellent cold bite, which is critical for safety in everyday driving and adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the pads produce minimal brake dust and operate quietly, eliminating the common issues of squealing or excessive residue often associated with high-performance brake pads.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct replacement for the front brake pads on 2013–2020 Subaru BRZ, 2013–2016 Scion FR-S, and 2017–2020 Toyota 86 models, installation is straightforward with no modifications required. These pads fit precisely into the factory calipers and work seamlessly with the existing braking system. Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.
