Stock brake pads on the 2015-2020 F-150 2.7L EcoBoost 2WD were sized for a broad range of drivers and conditions, not for the owner who wants quieter stops, reduced rotor wear, and a progressive pedal feel every time. EBC's Ultimax2 rear pads deliver exactly that, matching OEM stopping power at a fraction of the original equipment price.
ECE R90 approved friction material. Ultimax2 pads carry full ECE R90 brake safety approval, certifying them as a direct equivalent to the factory pads fitted to your F-150. That certification is not a marketing claim; it is a regulatory standard, meaning these pads meet or exceed the stopping distances and fade resistance of original equipment.
Quietest pad in the EBC lineup. Shimmed, chamfered, and slotted construction works together to eliminate brake noise and judder. Unlike some aftermarket alternatives, Ultimax2 pads will actually compensate for mild brake judder after 300 to 400 miles of use, smoothing out what the rotors have already accumulated.
Significantly reduced rotor wear. EBC's friction compound reduces disc wear by up to 50 percent compared to more abrasive semi-metallic pads. In practice, one set of rotors can outlast two full pad changes, a meaningful saving for any owner who has replaced rotors at every brake service.
Brake-In coating eliminates the bedding hassle. Every Ultimax2 pad ships with EBC's proprietary Brake-In coating already applied to the friction surface. The coating accelerates pad bed-in so the pads perform correctly from the first few stops rather than requiring an extended break-in procedure.
NRS mechanical attachment on the backing plate. Nucap NRS hooks lock the friction material to the steel backing plate mechanically, not just with adhesive. That construction eliminates the risk of pad delamination over the life of the brake pad.
Product Benefits
- ECE R90 Approved: Certified equivalent to OEM brake pads for public highway use in hot and cold climates.
- Shimmed, Chamfered, and Slotted: Reduces noise, heat buildup, and brake judder during normal driving.
- Up to 50% Less Rotor Wear: Gentler friction compound extends rotor life well beyond what semi-metallic pads allow.
- Brake-In Coating: Factory-applied coating shortens the pad bed-in period for immediate consistent performance.
- Nominal Friction Coefficient 0.46: Progressive, confident pedal feel with excellent cold friction from the first stop.
- NRS Hook Backing Plate: Mechanical bond between friction material and plate prevents delamination.
- Direct Rear Fitment: Designed specifically for the 2015-2020 F-150 2.7L EcoBoost 2WD with electric parking brake.
