EBC Stage 2 Rear Brake Pad and Rotor Kit 2019-2025 Ram 2500

Cleaner, Quieter, Smarter Braking for Your Heavy-Duty Ram Every Day

The EBC Brakes S2KR2690 Stage 2 rear brake kit gives 2019-2025 Ram 2500 and 2019-2025 Ram 3500 8-lug owners a meaningful factory-replacement upgrade without the noise, dust, or heat concerns that hold drivers back from going aftermarket. This complete front and rear kit combines EBC Greenstuff 6000 Series aramid-fiber brake pads with USR fine-slotted sport rotors to deliver noticeably better stopping performance, outstanding pad longevity, and a much cleaner wheel face than the stock setup. It is built for daily driving, commuting, light towing, and anyone who wants confidence at every stop without sacrificing drivability.

Greenstuff Technology and USR Rotor Science

EBC Greenstuff 6000 pads are engineered with an aramid fiber and ceramic composite that runs extremely cool under normal driving loads, reducing the thermal transfer that accelerates caliper and rotor wear. They generate less dust than stock organic pads, break in quickly, and offer a progressive pedal feel that suits both everyday driving and the occasional spirited run. The USR rotors in the S2KR2690 kit use a fine-slot pattern machined across the rotor face to continuously wipe the pad surface and prevent glazing, gas buildup, and uneven pad deposits. Every USR rotor leaves the factory with a Silver Grey Geomet anti-corrosion finish that resists the rust that forms instantly on bare iron and degrades braking performance over time. EBC applies a factory brake-in coating to all pads in this kit so the bedding process is safer and faster than with bare pads.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes the Greenstuff 6000 pad different from a standard replacement pad?
  Greenstuff 6000 pads use an aramid fiber ceramic compound that generates less heat under normal braking loads, produces significantly less wheel dust, and runs quieter than both OEM organic pads and many semi-metallic aftermarket pads. They are built for drivers who want a measurable daily-driving improvement without the noise or dust of a full performance compound.
• Is S2KR2690 compatible with my Ram 2500 Cummins diesel?
  Yes. The S2KR2690 is engineered for the 8-lug Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 platform and is compatible with all engine options including the 6.7L Cummins diesel and the 6.4L HEMI gasoline engine.
• What is the difference between the EBC S2KR2690 and the S3KR1244 for the same truck?
  The S2KR2690 Stage 2 kit uses Greenstuff pads and USR slotted rotors, optimized for low dust, quiet daily driving, and strong OEM-plus performance. The S3KR1244 Stage 3 kit uses Yellowstuff pads and GD slotted/dimpled rotors for more aggressive bite, better heat dissipation under sustained loads, and a stronger performance envelope for heavy towing or spirited driving. If you tow frequently at or near max capacity, Stage 3 is the better choice.
• How long does the bedding procedure take for S2KR2690?
  EBC recommends 20 moderate stops from around 40 mph to 10 mph with a two-minute cool-down between each stop. The factory brake-in coating on the Greenstuff pads speeds this up considerably. Avoid full hard stops for the first 200 to 300 miles to let the pad and rotor surfaces properly mate.
• Will the USR slotted rotors cause my brake pads to wear faster?
  Fine-slot rotors cause slightly accelerated pad wear compared to smooth rotors because they continuously abrade the pad surface. However, this is offset by the elimination of pad glazing, which is a primary cause of premature pad failure on smooth rotors under heavy use. Net pad life for most drivers is equal to or better than stock rotors with stock pads.
• Do the USR rotors rust between washes or after it rains?
  The Silver Grey Geomet coating on USR rotors dramatically reduces the speed and severity of surface rust formation. Light surface rust after rain or overnight exposure is normal on any iron rotor and clears off within a few stops. The coating prevents the deep pitting and corrosion that erodes braking performance over time.
• Is this a direct bolt-on for a lifted Ram 3500?
  Yes, as long as the factory calipers and hubs are intact. The S2KR2690 replaces pads and rotors only and does not require any bracket or caliper modification. It is compatible with lifted or leveled Ram trucks running stock brake hardware.
• Does the EBC warranty on S2KR2690 comply with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?
  Yes. EBC provides a limited warranty on the S2KR2690 covering defects in material and workmanship. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, your vehicle manufacturer cannot void your factory warranty simply because you installed aftermarket brake components unless they can prove a direct causal link between the part and the failure claimed.
• How does Greenstuff 6000 handle light trailer towing with a Ram 3500?
  Greenstuff 6000 pads are well-suited for everyday towing loads within normal highway and city conditions. For frequent or sustained maximum-weight towing, particularly on grades, the Stage 3 Yellowstuff compound offers a higher heat threshold and is the recommended choice for severe-duty towing applications.

Installation Instructions

Installation of the EBC S2KR2690 kit requires standard automotive hand tools. Safely lift and support the vehicle and remove all four wheels. Compress the caliper pistons before fitting the new Greenstuff pads and always replace one axle at a time, keeping the opposite side as a reference. Torque all lug nuts to the Ram factory specification for your model year. Complete the EBC bedding procedure described in the FAQ above before towing or performing hard stops. If you are not experienced with brake work, have a qualified technician perform the installation. Brake system integrity is safety-critical.
