EBC Brakes Ultimax 2 Brake Pads

EBC Ultimax 2 brake pads are designed to match the exact dimensions of original equipment with extremely tight tolerances to ensure proper fit, even wear, and absence of rattles and squeaks. A patented low-metallic aramid compound uses DuPont Twaron composite to reduce the amount of steel wool necessary, so these pads cause far less abrasive wear on rotors without compromising brake pad efficiency or longevity. In government R90 tests of replacement brake components, EBC pads have shown to deliver equivalent performance, bedding, cold temperature operation, and speed sensitivity when compared to original manufacturer parts. EBC's aramid material also ensures the pads are soft enough to avoid brake squeal, but not so soft that pad longevity becomes compromised. EBC Ultimax 2 brake pads also feature a red top layer coating designed to scour glaze and hot spots off worn brake rotors during the break-in process. The coating also serves to provide a higher level of grip to counteract low friction levels that exist before bedding is complete. Built-in shims ensure any high-frequency vibration is absorbed rather than transferred as squealing noise, even under the most extreme weather conditions.

• The Ultimax 2 brake pads by EBC are manufactured from AF42/66 friction material that reduces rotor wear by up to 50%
• The backing plate and side edges of the brake pad are black powder-coated for resistance to corrosion
• EBC Ultimax 2 brake pad surfaces have chamfered edges to reduce contact against the rotor lip that forms over time and causes squealing
• Produces a low amount of brake dust and offers a quieter ride
• The center gap allows for proper heat dissipation of brake pads Built-in noise-reducing shims
• Patented brake-in red top coating provides better grip during the first 100 miles after new pads are installed
• Patented brake-in red top coating scours off any existing glaze or heat spots from brake rotor surface for more even surface mating
