Stock brake pads on the 2009 F-150 4.6L 2WD get the job done, but EBC's Ultimax2 front pads deliver the same stopping power with noticeably less rotor wear and a quieter pedal feel, all at a fraction of the cost of OEM replacements.
ECE R90 certified friction performance. Ultimax2 pads carry full ECE R90 brake safety approval, making them a certified equivalent to the factory pads fitted to your F-150. A nominal friction coefficient of 0.46 delivers confident, progressive stopping with excellent cold-bite, whether you are driving in hot summers or cold winters.
Rotor life that outlasts the pads. EBC's Ultimax2 compound reduces disc wear by up to 50 percent compared to semi-metallic alternatives. Where some OEM pads require a rotor replacement at every pad change, the Ultimax2 formulation routinely allows a single rotor to outlast two full sets of pads, offering real savings over the life of your truck.
BRAKE-IN coating speeds up bed-in. Every set ships with EBC's proprietary BRAKE-IN surface coating applied directly to the pad face. This accelerates the bed-in process so the pads reach full friction faster, without the extended break-in driving cycles required by uncoated aftermarket pads.
Shimmed, chamfered, and slotted construction. All Ultimax2 pads sold in the USA include factory-applied shims, chamfered edges, and slots machined into the friction surface. These three features work together to minimize noise, reduce vibration, and vent heat and gas at the rotor face. Nucap NRS mechanical hooks bond the friction material to the backing plate, eliminating any risk of pad delamination.
Judder compensation built in. Beyond noise reduction, the Ultimax2 compound actively compensates for mild brake judder after 300 to 400 miles of use, smoothing out the pedal feel on rotors with minor surface variation without requiring an immediate rotor resurface.
