Stock brake pads can wear down rotors, generate dust, and leave drivers hunting for a replacement that actually matches factory stopping power without the dealer price tag. EBC's Ultimax2 rear brake pads for the 2013-2018 Fusion 1.6 Turbo deliver ECE R90-approved stopping performance at a fraction of OEM cost, with a formulation that reduces rotor wear and keeps braking quiet and progressive from cold.
Factory-equivalent friction, lower rotor wear. The Ultimax2 compound carries a nominal friction coefficient of 0.46, matching the stopping power of original equipment pads. Compared to abrasive semi-metallic compounds, the EBC material reduces disc wear by up to 50 percent, meaning a single rotor can outlast two full sets of pads under typical driving conditions.
Brake-In coating eliminates the bed-in hassle. EBC applies a proprietary Brake-In surface treatment to every Ultimax2 pad, accelerating the initial seating process so the pads reach full friction quickly after installation. No scripted heat cycle or special break-in drive is required to get full performance.
Engineered to eliminate brake judder. The Ultimax2 formulation actively compensates for mild rotor judder after approximately 300 to 400 miles of use, smoothing out the pedal feel that worn or uneven rotors can introduce without requiring an immediate rotor replacement.
Shimmed, chamfered, and slotted for silent operation. Every Ultimax2 pad in the USA market ships with a full shim package, combined with chamfered edges and slotted friction surfaces, to suppress the vibration and noise that cheaper replacement pads often introduce. EBC rates this compound as their quietest formulation.
Nucap NRS mechanical retention. Rather than relying solely on adhesive bonding, EBC integrates Nucap NRS hooks directly into the backing plate. These mechanical anchors eliminate the risk of friction material debonding from the plate under normal highway use.
