Product Information
Full details
The EBC FA159R sinterized brake pads are an ideal upgrade for off-road enthusiasts and daily riders who require consistent stopping power in challenging environments. Engineered with a durable copper-based compound, these pads excel in mud, sand, water, and gravel, offering high friction performance without excessive damage to your brake discs; however, they are specifically intended for non-competitive use and may not provide the extreme bite required for high-intensity professional racing.

FAQs
Are these pads compatible with all brake rotors?
These pads are designed for standard stainless steel brake rotors.
Can I use these for track racing?
No, these are intended for non-competitive, recreational, and daily off-road riding. They may lack the thermal capacity for professional racing.
How many pads are in the kit?
The kit includes one pair of pads, which is enough for one brake disc.
Do I need to replace my rotors when changing to these pads?
Not necessarily, but you should inspect your rotors for thinning or deep scores; if the rotor is damaged, it will cause premature wear on your new pads.
Are these pads suitable for street use?
Yes, their durable sinterized compound works well for general street riding, especially in wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel weak immediately after installation
The pads require a bedding-in process. Perform 10-15 light-to-moderate stops to establish the transfer layer between the pad and the disc.
Audible squealing during light braking
Ensure the anti-rattle clips are correctly seated and that the back of the pads have been treated with a thin layer of brake grease if applicable to your specific caliper model.
Excessive drag on the wheel
Check that the caliper pistons are retracting fully and are not seized due to dirt accumulation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent durability in abrasive off-road conditions
- Consistent performance in wet and muddy environments
- Reduces overall disc rotor wear compared to aggressive racing compounds
- Reliable stopping power for daily recreational riding
Cons
- Not designed for professional competitive racing
- Requires proper bedding-in period to achieve full effectiveness
- Only includes pads for one brake disc
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by cleaning the brake caliper housing with a dedicated brake cleaner to remove dust and debris. Before installation, inspect your brake discs for deep grooves or warping. When installing the FA159R pads, it is critical to perform a 'bedding-in' process: perform several controlled, moderate stops from a low speed to allow the pad surface to mate perfectly with the disc rotor. Avoid heavy, abrupt braking for the first 50 miles of use to prevent glazing. Regularly check the pad thickness after heavy riding sessions in extreme mud or sand, as high-grit environments will naturally accelerate the wear rate of any friction material.
