EBC Greenstuff Rear Brake Pads for 2013+ Acura RLX 3.5

The EBC Greenstuff rear brake pads, designed specifically for 2013 and newer Acura RLX models equipped with the 3.5L V6 engine. These pads deliver reliable stopping power for daily driving and spirited street use, providing a direct replacement that shortens stopping distances compared to standard OEM pads while producing less dust on your rotors and wheels. With a high initial bite from the first pedal press, they ensure confident control in everyday conditions, and their eco-friendly formula meets strict environmental standards by excluding lead, copper, and toxic sulfides.

Key Specifications and Features

• Friction Material: Greenstuff 2000 series compound with Kevlar fibers for medium dust output and low rotor wear.
• Braking Performance: Average friction coefficient of 0.55, offering improved response and up to 20 feet shorter stopping distances than stock pads in independent tests on similar vehicles.
• Temperature Range: Effective from cold starts up to 500°C (932°F), suitable for highway and urban driving but not heavy track duty.
• Environmental Rating: Highest "N" rating with the Leaf Mark for safety and compliance with global regulations.
• Design Elements: Fully chamfered and slotted edges for reduced noise; pre-shimmed backing plates includes EBC brake-in coating to speed up bedding-in after installation (typically 200-300 miles of normal driving).
• Durability: Medium lifetime expectancy, with even pad wear when paired with compatible rotors softer on rotors than semi-metallic alternatives.

These pads outperform OEM options in bite and fade resistance during repeated stops, as noted in user experiences on Acura vehicles where they provide a firmer pedal feel without the excessive dust buildup common in factory pads. Compared to other aftermarket brands like Akebono or PowerStop, EBC Greenstuff stands out for its balance of street-friendly operation and rotor-friendly wear, making it the practical choice for Acura RLX owners seeking dependable performance without frequent replacements.
