Stock brake pads on the Fiesta ST 1.6 Turbo wear predictably, but replacement time is the perfect opportunity to step up to a pad that reduces rotor wear, eliminates brake judder, and beds in faster than most OEM alternatives. EBC's Ultimax2 rear pads deliver that improvement at a price well below dealer parts.
ECE R90 certified friction performance. Ultimax2 pads carry full ECE R90 approval, meaning they meet the same brake safety standard as the factory pads fitted at the assembly plant. A nominal friction coefficient of 0.46 gives confident, progressive stopping feel in both cold and hot conditions, without sacrificing everyday drivability.
Rotor life extends significantly. EBC's friction compound reduces disc wear by up to 50 percent compared to abrasive semi-metallic pads. It is common for a single rotor to outlast two complete sets of Ultimax2 pads, which offsets the cost of replacement over time without accelerating pad wear.
Brake-In coating cuts the bed-in period short. Every Ultimax2 pad ships with EBC's Brake-In coating pre-applied to the friction surface. That coating accelerates the initial transfer layer, getting the pad and rotor working together far sooner than bare pads require. All Ultimax pads in the USA range come shimmed as standard, and the chamfered and slotted pad profile keeps noise at a minimum throughout the service life.
Nucap NRS mechanical attachment on every backing plate. Rather than relying solely on adhesive bonding between the friction material and the steel backing plate, these pads use Nucap NRS hooks to mechanically lock the compound in place, eliminating any risk of delamination or pad debond under hard use.
