EBC UD1019 Ultimax OEM Replacement Disc Brake Pad Set

The EBC Ultimax UD1019 is a premium OEM-grade disc brake pad engineered for everyday drivers who demand reliable, confident stopping power without overspending. Manufactured at EBC's Bristol, UK facility, the Ultimax compound is purpose-built for urban commuting, daily driving, and light truck or SUV use — delivering performance that meets or exceeds original equipment standards.

The Ultimax formula uses a carefully optimized steel fiber blend that is significantly lower in steel content than competing brands, resulting in a quieter, cleaner, and more rotor-friendly pad. Once properly bedded in, these pads perform consistently across a wide heat range — from cold morning starts to extended highway driving — with minimal brake dust and low rotor wear. In fact, rotor wear is reduced by up to 50% compared to more abrasive semi-metallic pads, meaning a single rotor can often outlast two sets of pad changes.

Key Features:

• British-made at EBC's Bristol manufacturing facility
• Meets or exceeds OEM braking performance standards
• Optimized low-steel fiber compound — far less metallic content than competing pads
• Shimmed, chamfered, and center-slotted design for noise reduction and even wear
• EBC Brake-In® surface coating for fast, safe pad bed-in right after installation
• Universal heat range — effective in cold, damp, hot, and humid climates
• Reduces rotor wear by up to 50% versus semi-metallic pads
• Nominal friction coefficient of 0.46
• ECE R 90 certified — fully approved to European brake safety standards
• Complies with SAE J2975:2011 — zero heavy metals and zero sulphides
• Black-coded in the EBC product range
• EBC's #1 worldwide selling brake pad line — tens of millions of sets sold

The Ultimax range carries full ECE R 90 brake safety approval, making it a certified equivalent to OEM pads in both friction performance and safety standards. Its proven compound formula has remained unchanged for over a decade — a testament to its consistent real-world performance and widespread customer acceptance.
