Product Description

The EBC DP21287 Greenstuff 2000 front brake pads are a direct performance upgrade for the Smart fortwo (450/451) and Smart Roadster (452), replacing factory pads with a high-friction Kevlar compound that delivers measurably shorter stopping distances and stronger pedal feel from first use. Designed specifically for lighter city cars and sport compacts, these pads improve braking response without the harshness or excessive dust associated with semi-metallic compounds. Confidence-inspiring brake feel is available from cold, with no warm-up period required.

Each pad is fully shimmed, chamfered, and center-slotted to minimize noise, and comes pre-coated with EBC's red Brake-In surface coating for a quicker, safer bed-in after installation. As a street pad rated for temperatures up to 600°C (1100°F), the DP21287 is well-suited for spirited daily driving. For Smart owners seeking a higher-performance option, EBC's Redstuff (DP31287C) or Yellowstuff (DP41287R) compounds are available for the same application.
