EBC's Ultimax2 rear pads replace stock pads with a high-friction, ECE R90-approved compound that matches OEM stopping performance while dramatically reducing wear on both the pad and the disc.
Brake-In coating eliminates the break-in hassle. EBC applies a proprietary Brake-In coating directly to the pad surface, accelerating the bed-in period so the compound seats quickly against the rotor without the extended heat cycling that bare pads require. Full friction performance arrives sooner after installation.
Rotor life extends well beyond what OEM pads allow. The Ultimax2 compound reduces disc wear by up to 50 percent compared to semi-metallic alternatives. Where some OEM pads consume a rotor with every pad change, a single rotor commonly outlasts two full sets of Ultimax2 pads, delivering real cost savings over time.
Shimmed, chamfered, and slotted construction addresses noise and judder. Every pad in the Ultimax range for the US market ships fully shimmed. Chamfered edges and slotting work together to expel gas and debris at the rotor interface, keeping braking feel progressive and quiet. After 300 to 400 miles of use, the compound also compensates for mild brake judder caused by rotor irregularities.
Cold-bite performance suits daily driving in any climate. A nominal friction coefficient of 0.46 delivers confident stopping from a cold start, whether the temperature outside is near freezing or well above it. This is a street pad formulated for public highway use; it is not intended for track or competition applications.
Nucap NRS hooks secure the friction material to the backing plate. Mechanical retention hooks interlock the compound with the steel plate, eliminating the risk of pad debond that adhesive-only bonding can present under repeated thermal cycling.
Product Benefits
