We are getting ready to change the brake pads in our jeep and was looking at the Hawks EBC Green Stuff brake pads. We wanted to know if any forum member has used them.

Notes
•It's always best to use the same compound in the front and rear, but if budget restraints prevent that, use this guide:•When using Green Stuff Brake Pads on the front and replacing the rear, it is recommended to use either a set of Green Stuff, Ultimax, Red Stuff or original brake pads for the rear.
•When using Green Stuff Brake Pads on the rear and replacing the front, it is recommended to use either a set of Green Stuff or Yellow Stuff Brake Pads for the front.

 

I used the EBCs on my Camaro and they did stop better and quiet as could be. the issue I had was they really made a lot of brake dust. all be it the dust washed away without soap but its annoying. If you dont care about the dust then go for them they are awesome.

 

We are using them they are quiet but I heard the complaint about them is they are hard on rotors and I know we have a groove in one now that wasn't there before. Could be coincidence who knows but we went with Hawk on the rears.

 

Gave them a try at my last changout of the fronts. As far as function they worked great on my winding mountain roads. No more or less dusty than the Hawks or the Napa pads that I used before. However these wore out faster than all the others. Was surprised how quickly they wore down under same driving conditions as before, luckily caught it during my last rotation of the tires.

 

+ 1 , they breakdown way faster than OEM or Autozone pads.

 

I'm using Hawks and really notice the improved braking over stock. Only have done rears. Rears wear out much faster than fronts.

 

I use Hawk products on everything from a 240SX, 350Z, to my Jeep TJ. Never have they failed me in any situation.

 

I'm fairly sure that Hawk and EBC are 2 different companies. I'm looking into the Hawk LTS pads because I've heard that they are a bit "nicer" to the rotors.

 

Ran EBC Greens in a Dodge Magnum. Other posters have stated the same experiences... hard on rotors, and lots of brake dust. The brake dust (or debris in my case) actually ate into the coating on the front wheels; The brakes seemed to shed small specs or pellets of debris that adhered to the wheels coating.

On the plus side - they had excellent bite and feel. Very confident brakes.

FWIW, running EBC Reds on a motocross bike and LOVE them in that application. :P

 

I just installed the LTS pads on my rear brakes and they are great! Easy install, no noise and very smooth / responsive brake feel. Highly recommend!
