PRODUCT INFORMATION

EBC Rear Brake Pads – 98–00 BMW Z3 / 89–90 525i / 535i

Genuine EBC rear brake pads for documented applications including BMW 318ti (1995–1996, 1999); BMW 750iL (1988, 1990, 1995); BMW Z3 (1998–2000); BMW 5 series (1989, 1994); BMW 525i (1989–1990). This product consolidates 4 EBC friction compounds with one physical pad shape: DP690. The compound does not change the fitment. Vehicle models and years shown below follow the existing YMM records.

Step 1 — Confirm the vehicle application

One rear pad shape, multiple EBC compounds

All options in this listing share EBC pad shape DP690. Review the specific vehicle applications below, then choose the compound that suits how you drive.

Step 2 — Choose your EBC compound

Once the caliper and pad shape are confirmed, select the friction compound that suits your driving.

Greenstuff

Street-focused replacement friction for everyday driving.

EBC part number DP2690

Redstuff

Street performance with an emphasis on reduced brake dust.

EBC part number DP3690C

Yellowstuff

Spirited street driving and increased braking heat demands.

EBC part number DP4690R

Bluestuff NDX

Higher-demand performance driving; confirm EBC's recommended use and bedding.

EBC part number DP5690NDX

Only the EBC part numbers included in this product are available; selecting a different compound does not change the pad outline.

Step 3 — Verify your pad shape and part number

1

Check the fitted caliper

Confirm the original brake package and any factory or aftermarket modifications.

2

Compare the pad shape

Compare your original rear pads with EBC shape DP690, checking the outline, mounting tabs, holes, notches and dimensions. If a verified manufacturer drawing is unavailable, contact AlconKits for fitment help.

3

Confirm the selected SKU

Choose your compound and verify the exact EBC part number and axle before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Do all vehicles listed use these pads? Only those equipped with the matching rear caliper and DP690 pad shape; optional brakes may differ.

Does my EBC compound affect fitment? No. It changes the friction material, not the physical pad shape.

What if my original pads are different? Do not select a different compound to compensate. Contact AlconKits to identify the proper shape.

Can the application list change? Yes. YMM records can be updated independently of the compound variants.

Why Choose EBC Brake Pads?

EBC offers a range of friction materials tailored to different driving demands, from everyday street use to more demanding performance applications. Once you've identified the right pad shape, choosing the appropriate EBC compound helps match your braking priorities.

Buy with confidence from AlconKits. We specialize in performance braking and can help select the correct caliper fitment and compound before you order.

Final fitment verification remains the customer's responsibility; returns are subject to the AlconKits published return policy.

Smooth & Progressive
I want easy, linear feel. Comfort and predictability over outright bite.

❄️ Cold Climate / Gentle Use (under 100°C)
Mountain driving in cold temps or very gentle braking — needs immediate cold bite from the first stop
✓
🟢 Normal Street (100–400°C)

Long descents, heavy vehicles, spirited canyon driving or repeated hard stops
