The EBC 12+ Scion FR-S 2 Greenstuff front pad (MPN DP21884) is a street-focused sport pad from EBC's Greenstuff 2000 range. The green range is approved to ECE R90 for highway use. The pad offers a medium to low dust level and a nominal 10-15% brake improvement, with improved resistance to heat fade at higher speeds. For a driver who uses the car hard on fast roads but doesn't want a pad that is harsh on cold stops or noisy at low speed, that balance is the reason to pay more than for a basic replacement. For heavier faster cars the manufacturer recommends its Redstuff pad, which produces much less dust.
Fitment is the first thing to confirm. Published fitment details for this part are not consistent, so verify the year, trim, and caliper type by VIN with the manufacturer before ordering. On the install side, owners on user forums describe a front pad swap as a roughly 30 to 60 minute job with a jack, stands, a 14mm socket for the caliper bolts, and a C-clamp to retract the piston slowly. The Greenstuff pads carry a brake-in coating that accelerates seating and provides a strong brake effect for the first 100 miles of use. Searches for FR-S front brake pad upgrade, street sport pads, ECE R90 FR-S brakes, and Greenstuff 2000 FR-S front pads are the most relevant to this part.
The manufacturer states that Greenstuff 2000 is not ideal for track use. Its Redstuff pad is the recommended choice for heavier, faster cars.
The manufacturer says the red brake-in coating helps the pads seat quickly. Owners on user forums advise avoiding hard stops and full stops during the first 100 miles, then increasing pressure gradually.
Fitment details for this part are not consistent across published references. Confirm the application by VIN with the manufacturer before ordering.
Owners on user forums describe this as a manageable driveway job. Plan on a jack and jack stands, a lug wrench or breaker bar for the wheel nuts, a 14mm socket for the caliper bolts, and a C-clamp. Remove the upper caliper bolt, swing the caliper away, and note the orientation of the old pads and clips. Transfer the shims and clips to the new pads, apply a thin layer of anti-squeal grease to the backing plates, and compress the piston slowly so it doesn't stress the master cylinder. Check the brake fluid level after compressing the piston, and pump the pedal before driving to restore firm pressure. Tighten the caliper bolts to the manufacturer's torque specification.
