Stock brake pads on the Fiesta ST 1.6 Turbo wear fast, generate dust, and can accelerate rotor wear to the point where rotors need replacing every pad change. EBC's Ultimax2 front pads cut rotor wear by up to 50 percent compared to more abrasive semi-metallic compounds, making it common for a single rotor set to outlast two pad changes.
A direct OEM equivalent, not a compromise. Ultimax2 pads carry ECE R90 brake safety approval, meaning they meet the same friction performance standards as factory-fitted pads. Nominal friction coefficient of 0.46 delivers stopping power on par with original equipment, with comparable dust levels and no sacrifice in cold-bite performance.
Brake judder eliminated from the start. The Ultimax2 compound actively compensates for mild brake judder after 300 to 400 miles of use, smoothing out the pedal feel that worn or warped rotors can introduce. EBC's BRAKE-IN coating pre-conditions the friction surface so the bed-in period is shorter, letting the pads perform at full capacity sooner.
Built to stay quiet and stay put. Shimmed, chamfered, and slotted construction reduces noise at the source. Nucap NRS mechanical hooks on the backing plate bond the friction material to the plate without relying on adhesive alone, eliminating the risk of pad debonding over the life of the pad.
