EBC DP22170 Greenstuff 2000 Front Brake Pads 2014-2021 Mazda 6 2.5

Vehicle Fitment

• 2014-2021 Mazda 6 (Sport, Touring, Grand Touring - All Trims; 2.5L 4-Cyl Skyactiv-G) - Front Axle

Fitment Notes

• Front axle only - this is a front pad set; rear pads for the Mazda 6 require a separate part number
• FMSI Pad No. D1711; pad dimensions: 140 x 60 x 15.5mm; compatible with the vented 297mm (5-bolt) front disc used across all 3rd-generation GJ/GL-chassis Mazda 6 models (2014-2021) in North America
• Fitment is consistent across all North American trim levels (Sport, Touring, Grand Touring) and both manual and automatic transmission configurations - the front brake caliper and rotor specification is shared across all variants for the covered model years
• The 2.5L Skyactiv-G is the sole engine offered in the Mazda 6 for the North American market throughout the 2014-2021 model year run; this pad is also confirmed to fit global GJ/GL variants equipped with the 2.0L and 2.2L diesel engines, which share the D1711 pad shape
• The Greenstuff 2000 compound is well-matched to the Mazda 6 2.5's output range (184-187hp); for spirited street or light track use, EBC recommends Yellowstuff (DP42170R); for lowest dust at higher performance, Redstuff (DP32170C)
• Do not fit upgrade pads to the rear axle unless the same compound upgrade is applied to the front simultaneously; always upgrade both axles together for balanced braking
• A brake bed-in procedure is required after installation; EBC's Brake-In surface coating accelerates initial bed-in but does not eliminate the requirement
• Sold as a front pad set only (both front wheel positions); rear brake pads, rotors, hardware, and brake fluid are not included

Features

• Greenstuff 2000 Series compound - an organic and aramid fiber formulation with ceramic granule enhancement; designed for improved stopping power over OEM pads on sport sedans and prestige cars in everyday street and spirited highway driving; on the Mazda 6, which carries a conservative OEM brake tune calibrated for comfort and long pad life rather than outright friction performance, Greenstuff delivers a meaningful improvement in initial bite and pedal feel with a higher initial friction coefficient of 0.55 - immediately noticeable from cold without any warm-up period
• Up to 15% shorter stopping distances vs. stock pads - independent testing at the UK MIRA Motor Vehicle Research Institute demonstrated that Greenstuff stops a vehicle approximately 20 feet shorter than OEM pads from 60 mph; for the Mazda 6's front-biased brake balance and larger 297mm vented front discs, the Greenstuff compound's improved initial grab contributes directly to shorter pedal travel and earlier brake force buildup
• Reduced brake dust vs. OEM and semi-metallic pads - the organic compound generates less brake dust than conventional semi-metallic OEM-style pads; the Mazda 6's standard alloy wheels tend to accumulate visible dust staining in normal driving, and Greenstuff provides a noticeable improvement over the stock compound; it is a medium-dust material and will produce some dust during the bed-in period and under heavier braking loads
• Rotor-friendly formulation - the organic compound contains fewer metallic constituents than semi-metallic pads, reducing abrasive wear on the OEM 297mm vented front rotor surface; a practical benefit for Mazda 6 owners who want improved braking performance without accelerating rotor wear or requiring an immediate rotor replacement
• EBC Brake-In surface coating - each pad arrives pre-coated with EBC's proprietary brake-in surface treatment on the friction face, enabling safe and effective braking immediately after installation while the pad-to-rotor transfer layer is being established; this shortens and simplifies the bed-in procedure compared to uncoated pads
• Fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted construction - pads include built-in anti-noise shims, pre-chamfered leading and trailing edges to minimize initial contact noise, and a center-line slot for gas venting and surface deglazing; these features produce quiet, vibration-free operation consistent with the Mazda 6's refined, NVH-focused character
• ECE R90 approved - Greenstuff 2000 pads carry ECE R90 type approval, confirming they meet the European brake safety standard minimum friction and braking performance thresholds required for street-legal use
• No lead, copper, or toxic sulfides - the Greenstuff 2000 formulation complies with current environmental legislation including copper-reduction standards; it carries the "Leaf Mark" eco-label at the highest N rating for environmental safety
• Manufactured in the UK - EBC brake pads are produced in EBC's UK manufacturing facilities and are subject to quality inspection prior to release; country of origin: GB

Product Description

The EBC DP22170 is a front brake pad set from the Greenstuff 2000 Series, designed for street and highway use on the 2014-2021 Mazda 6 2.5L in all trim configurations (Sport, Touring, Grand Touring). These are front-axle pads only; rear pads require a separate part number. The FMSI D1711 pad shape fits the vented 297mm front disc caliper used consistently across all 3rd-generation GJ/GL-chassis Mazda 6 models in North America throughout the full production run.

The Mazda 6's OEM front brake compound is calibrated for long life, low noise, and smooth pedal feel rather than outright stopping performance - appropriate for a family-oriented midsize sedan. Greenstuff 2000 improves on this with up to 15% shorter stopping distances, a nominal friction coefficient of 0.55, and a firmer, more progressive initial bite from cold. The improvement is immediate from the first pedal application with no warm-up required. The organic aramid fiber compound is gentle on the stock 297mm vented rotor, generates less dust than semi-metallic alternatives, and includes EBC's Brake-In coating for accelerated bed-in. Pads are fully shimmed, chamfered, and center-slotted for quiet, vibration-free street operation. For spirited street or light track use, EBC's Yellowstuff (DP42170R) is the recommended step up; for lowest dust at performance level, Redstuff (DP32170C). All compounds carry ECE R90 approval. Pads are manufactured in the UK.
