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.
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.
EBC red stuff pads work great. Better stopping power than stock, way less dust, but I've always swapped rotors and pads at the same time.
Im about to change my rotors for the second time with some fresh EBC blue stuff pads. If you plan on putting any heat into the brakes, just be ready for hot spots on the rotor and for the rotor to be toast.
I went Zimmerman rotors and EBC red, big mistake. They are super noisy.
EBC yellow stuff are terrible for track use. Had a set disintegrate and nearly catch fire only like 12 mins into a session.
