Overview
The EBC Brakes DP71742 is a 7000 Series Greenstuff SUV Supreme Compound front disc brake pad set for the 2005–2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and for 2007 full-size GM SUVs including the Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL 1500, Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade. The 7000 Series compound is slightly harder than the 6000 Series.
This heavy-duty low-dust pad suits everyday driving and is made to handle heavy loads or spirited driving. A green powder coat supports rust-free use, and a break-in material helps the pads bed in.

Choosing between compounds
Brake pad compounds trade off bite, heat tolerance, dust and rotor wear. A softer compound usually grips cold quickly and suits gentle daily use, while a harder compound tends to hold up better under repeated heavy stops, at the cost of more rotor wear and sometimes more noise. Matching the compound to how the vehicle is really driven matters more than chasing any single feature.
If you tow, carry loads or drive in hilly country, heat tolerance becomes the deciding factor. Pads that overheat can fade, which feels like a soft pedal on long descents. Replacing pads and checking rotors together keeps the friction surfaces matched, since a new pad on a badly worn rotor will not bed evenly.
- Check the compound against your towing and driving habits
- Inspect rotors for grooves or heat spots when changing pads
- Keep the rear and front pad choices consistent with your driving
