EBC Greenstuff 6000 Series Front Brake Pads
For 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup 4WD
Overview
The EBC Greenstuff 6000 Series Front Brake Pads are a performance-oriented street and utility upgrade for 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup models equipped with 4WD. Developed specifically for light trucks and SUVs, Greenstuff 6000 provides stronger brake response than a conventional replacement pad while retaining the smooth, predictable characteristics needed for regular street driving.
The truck-focused friction compound combines improved stopping performance with reduced brake dust, very low rotor wear, and increased resistance to dirt and sand encountered during off-road use. This makes Greenstuff a strong all-around choice for daily-driven trucks, restorations, overland builds, mildly modified vehicles, and light towing.

Street, Overland & Light-Duty Performance
Greenstuff 6000 is positioned between a conventional street replacement pad and EBC's more aggressive heavy-duty or high-friction compounds. It provides a noticeable improvement in brake response without sacrificing the drivability expected from a street-oriented pad.
The compound is particularly well suited to Toyota Pickups that see a mixture of highway driving, light trail use, overlanding, camping, mildly oversized tires, added vehicle weight, or occasional light towing. Drivers routinely subjecting their truck to very heavy loads, large tires, repeated steep-grade braking, or more severe heat should consider EBC Extra Duty or Yellowstuff instead.
Greenstuff 6000 is designed primarily for street, truck, and off-road use rather than track use.
