jonboyb Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 While swapping out my wheels and tires on the flatty, I was going to do a brake job. The brakes have always been a little noisy (not squeal/squeak.....almost an audible grinding when coming to stop) so I was just going to put on new pads. However, on inspecting the pads they look brand new with almost 1/4" of friction surface left....and the backing plate and sides of the friction surface are red???? Only company I know that does that is EBC with the old "Red Stuff" pads out of England, and I never thought they did pads for a SQ. That could explain the brutally fast braking the flatty has always had, and it spent a few years in Europe with the PO. Anyone ever seen EBC Red's for our cars?

TexasQuest Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes EBC made pads for our cars in Europe. It's possible a previous owner ordered some from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 There's an EBC warehouse in san fernando, CA. No need to order overseas. Look for toyota pickup and tacoma front pads if you don't find SQ listings. Toyota pickups use the same pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 1982 to 1995 Toyota pickup is the year you might be able to find the pads for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jszucs Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah I got EBC pads for mine.... but there not the reds, there organics so I think the greens? When I ordered them they were for a Toyota something. It was whatever was listed in the posting at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I couldn't find EBC under those year pickups on rockauto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 look up 99 toyota tacoma v6 or 4cyl. It's in the ebc catalog. Oriely claims that truck uses the same pads as a SQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Cary Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have a 96 tacoma 4 cyl 2wd. I just did brakes and saved an old pad to check it with the factory starion ones. Does anyone have a set of pads lying around to take measurements of? I have a micrometer and can get the measurements of the toyota pads. This way we know 100% if they will work or not. The 96 year was the start of the new generation of tacomas which went until the early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu_Crash Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 I currently run EBC reds on the front and green on the rear. Helps with my brake bias for autocross use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbruneaux Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I seem to remember they were the same pads as a Toyota Tacoma, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
