Why Greenstuff?
The EBC Greenstuff 2000 Series is the pinnacle of street-performance brake pads, offering a 10-15% improvement in braking efficiency over stock pads, ensuring shorter stopping distances and razor-sharp response. Unlike competitors, these pads are crafted with a medium-to-low dust formulation, keeping your wheels cleaner while maintaining exceptional grip. With a nominal friction coefficient of 0.55, they provide a high initial bite, instilling confidence from the first press of the pedal, even under spirited driving conditions.
Designed for premium street driving, the Greenstuff DP2871 pads excel in urban and highway environments, offering superior heat resistance to prevent fade during repeated heavy braking. Their eco-friendly composition—free of lead, copper, and toxic sulfides—complies with stringent environmental regulations and earns the prestigious Leaf Mark for sustainability, making them the responsible choice for performance and planet. Certified to ECE R90 standards, these pads are fully road-legal across Europe and beyond, guaranteeing safety without compromise.
Unlike other aftermarket options, the Greenstuff DP2871 is tailored for the BMW 840Ci 4.0 (E31), ensuring perfect fitment and hassle-free installation. While not intended for track use, their robust design has proven effective in demanding scenarios like hillclimb events, offering versatility for enthusiastic drivers. Compared to EBC’s Redstuff or Yellowstuff, the Greenstuff strikes the ideal balance for daily-driven sports coupes, delivering performance without excessive dust or wear on rotors.

Performance Benefits
Vs. OEM Pads: Greenstuff DP2871 offers sharper initial bite, reduced stopping distances, and lower dust output, all at a competitive price point.
Vs. Other Aftermarket Pads: Competitors often sacrifice dust control or rotor life for performance. Greenstuff balances all three, with minimal disc wear and a medium-to-good pad lifespan.
Vs. EBC Redstuff/Yellowstuff: Redstuff produces less dust but is better suited for heavier vehicles, while Yellowstuff is track-focused. Greenstuff is the optimal choice for the 840Ci’s sporty yet street-oriented nature.
Installation Notes
Direct Replacement: Designed as a plug-and-play upgrade for stock rear pads, requiring no modifications.
Warning: Do not install performance pads on the rear axle unless the front axle is also upgraded to maintain brake balance.
Bedding-In: Pads generate more dust during initial bedding, especially with worn rotors. Follow EBC’s bedding procedure for optimal performance.
Tools Required: Standard brake service tools (e.g., caliper tool, torque wrench). Professional installation recommended for best results.
Brake Pads
Brake pads are the most frequently replaced brake component, and upgrading from stock pads delivers immediate improvements in stopping distance, pedal feel, and fade resistance. From daily-driver ceramic pads to track-spec metallic compounds, there is a brake pad for every application. Popular ProductsTop brake pad brands include EBC Brakes, Hawk Performance, StopTech, and Akebono. Popular compound choices include ceramic pads for low dust and quiet operation, semi-metallic for improved bite, and full metallic for track use. What brake pad compound should I choose?Ceramic pads are best for street use, offering low dust, quiet operation, and good bite. Semi-metallic pads add more stopping power at the cost of more dust. Full metallic and racing compounds are reserved for track use where extreme heat resistance is needed. How do I know when brake pads need replacement?Most brake pads include a wear indicator that creates a squealing sound when pad thickness reaches the minimum limit. ...
