What is the main benefit of the EBC Ultimax2 brake pads?

The EBC Ultimax2 pads are designed as a quality OEM replacement for daily drivers. They offer a good balance of longevity, minimal dust production, and gentle rotor wear, all while meeting ECE R 90 safety standards.

Are these brake pads suitable for aggressive driving or track use?

The Ultimax2 pads are best suited for urban or daily driving. While they offer confidence-inspiring performance, they are not designed for high-performance or track applications, which would require a different EBC compound.

What does 'ECE R 90 approved' mean for these brake pads?

ECE R 90 approval means these brake pads have met stringent European safety standards. They are considered equivalent in performance and safety to original equipment (OE) brake pads, even though they are offered at a lower price point.
