What makes the EBC Ultimax2 pads different from other EBC pads?

The Ultimax2 pads use a specific fiber blend that includes a small percentage of steel to achieve a lower price point and minimal dust, making them ideal for daily drivers. Other EBC performance grades may use different compounds for higher heat resistance or stopping power.

Are these pads suitable for performance driving or track use?

The Ultimax2 pads are designed as a quality OEM replacement for urban and daily driving. While they inspire confidence, they are not intended for high-performance or track applications where specialized compounds are recommended.

Do these brake pads come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, these EBC Ultimax2 front brake pads include OE hardware to assist with installation. It's always recommended to refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or consult a professional mechanic for proper installation procedures.

Product Details

The EBC Ultimax2 brake pads are built with a specific blend of fibers, including a small percentage of steel, to offer a durable and cost-effective replacement for your daily driver. This compound is designed to last well and produce minimal dust, keeping your wheels cleaner between washes. They are made in the UK at EBC's Bristol manufacturing plant and are ECE R 90 approved, meaning they meet European safety standards and are totally equivalent to original parts, often at less than half the price.

These pads are a popular choice for urban and daily driving because of their universal heat range abilities and low rotor wear. Once bedded in, they inspire confidence for everyday driving on a variety of vehicles. The Ultimax line has been a consistent formula for ten years, a testament to its success and customer acceptance. They are a solid option if you're looking for a quality OEM replacement without needing a high-performance compound.
