Stock brake pads wear out rotors fast and often need to be replaced alongside them. EBC's Ultimax2 front brake pads for the 2018-2020 F-150 2.7L 2WD break that cycle, delivering OE-equivalent stopping power while cutting rotor wear by up to 50 percent compared to more abrasive semi-metallic compounds.
ECE R90 certified friction performance. Ultimax2 pads carry full ECE R90 brake safety approval, making them a direct legal equivalent to the original equipment pads fitted at the factory. A nominal friction coefficient of 0.46 means stopping distances match or beat most aftermarket alternatives, with minimal rotor damage and dust output similar to OEM.
Brake judder eliminated from the start. One standout characteristic of the Ultimax2 compound is its ability to compensate for mild brake judder after 300 to 400 miles of use, smoothing out the pedal feel that worn rotors or bedded glazed pads often create.
BRAKE-IN coating speeds up the break-in process. Every Ultimax2 pad ships with EBC's proprietary BRAKE-IN surface coating applied from the factory, accelerating the bed-in period so the pads reach full friction capacity far sooner than bare pads require. All Ultimax pads in the USA are also shimmed, chamfered, and slotted for quieter, more progressive braking from the first stop.
Rotors last longer between changes. The Ultimax2 compound is significantly less abrasive than semi-metallic pads. It is common for a single rotor to outlast two full sets of Ultimax pads, a meaningful cost advantage over OE replacements that often require a rotor swap at every pad change.
NRS Nucap back plate retention. Each pad uses Nucap NRS mechanical hooks on the back plate instead of relying on adhesive alone, eliminating the risk of friction material debonding from the carrier plate over time.
