Construction & Design:

The Ultimax2 brake pads feature a premium European-spec friction compound engineered to provide smooth, reliable braking with minimal rotor wear. Unlike many competitors that use high steel fiber content, EBC’s unique blend contains a modest amount of steel fiber, optimizing pad longevity and rotor preservation. The pads are precision-machined to exact OE dimensions, including a thickness of 33mm and a center hole diameter of 77.7mm, ensuring perfect fitment and easy installation.

Each pad is equipped with friction shims and designed with slots and chamfers to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), enhancing driver comfort. This thoughtful design also aids in heat dissipation and pad bedding, contributing to consistent braking performance over time.
