EBC Orangestuff Race Front Brake Pads
2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 / 2020–2023 Tesla Model Y
DP91110
Overview:
The EBC Orangestuff Race Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for demanding track conditions, providing a full race brake pad solution for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners. Designed for intermediate to expert drivers, these pads deliver aggressive braking performance ideal for track-only use. Unlike street-oriented pads, Orangestuff pads prioritize maximum friction and heat resistance over dust and rotor wear, making them perfect for those who push their vehicles hard on the race circuit.
Developed through extensive testing and scientific formulation by EBC’s engineers, these pads offer consistent stopping power under extreme conditions. They are not intended for daily street use but excel in delivering reliable, high-temperature braking performance during spirited driving and track sessions.
Key Features:
These race-grade brake pads incorporate advanced materials and design elements to meet the rigorous demands of track driving. Key features include:
- Full race friction material formulated for aggressive braking and high heat tolerance.
- Designed to provide consistent pedal feel and stopping power during extended track use.
- Produces more brake dust and is slightly more abrasive on rotors, a trade-off for superior performance.
- Factory heat scorched to significantly reduce bedding-in time, allowing fast track changes.
- Thermic Black anti-corrosion coating on the backing plate protects against rust and does not require removal before installation.
- Compatible with OEM brake rotors; the coating will naturally wear off in the pad contact area within the first 10 to 20 stops.
- Specifically designed for front axle use; do not install on rear axle unless the same upgrade is applied to the front.
- Extensive fitment across high-performance vehicles, demonstrating proven race pedigree and reliability.
Construction & Design:
The Orangestuff pads feature a proprietary full race compound developed through hours of testing by EBC’s scientists. The friction material is engineered to withstand the intense heat generated during track braking without fading. The backing plates are coated with EBC’s Thermic Black anti-corrosion finish, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to rust, even in harsh environments.
This coating is designed to remain intact during installation and is removed only in the pad swept area through normal braking action, preserving the integrity of the brake system. The pads are pre-conditioned with factory heat scorching to minimize bedding-in time, allowing drivers to achieve optimal performance quickly after installation.
Installation & Fitment:
The EBC Orangestuff Race Front Brake Pads are a direct replacement for the front brake pads on Tesla Model 3 (2017–2023) and Tesla Model Y (2020–2023) vehicles. Installation uses existing OEM mounting points and hardware, requiring no modifications, cutting, or special tuning.
- Direct bolt-on fitment for front brakes on specified Tesla models.
- Thermic Black coating does not require removal before installation.
- Do not use brake cleaner or other methods to remove the Thermic Black coating from rotors.
- Ensure the same upgrade pads are installed on the rear axle if upgrading the front pads.
Ideal For:
These brake pads are ideal for Tesla owners who participate in track days, autocross, or other high-performance driving events. They are best suited for drivers who demand aggressive braking performance and consistent pedal feel under extreme conditions. Orangestuff pads are not recommended for daily street use due to increased dust and rotor wear.
- Track day enthusiasts and amateur racers.
- Intermediate to expert drivers seeking race-level braking performance.
- Owners looking for a brake pad that withstands high temperatures without fade.
- Those who prioritize stopping power over rotor longevity and dust levels.
