EBC UD1731 Ultimax OEM Replacement Disc Brake Pad Set

The EBC Ultimax UD1731 is a premium OEM-replacement brake pad engineered for everyday drivers who demand reliable, long-lasting stopping power without the premium price tag. Manufactured at EBC's Bristol, UK facility, the Ultimax compound is precision-engineered to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards.

Ultimax pads carry full ECE R90 brake safety approval, meaning they are independently certified as totally equivalent to OEM brake performance — at a fraction of the cost. This certification makes Ultimax one of the most trusted daily-driver brake pads on the market, with tens of millions of sets sold worldwide.

Key Features:

• Manufactured in EBC's Bristol, UK production facility
• Fully ECE R90 approved — independently certified to meet OEM braking performance standards
• Low steel fiber content for reduced dust and rotor wear, far below industry competitors
• Optimized heat range suitable for urban commuting, daily driving, and light truck or SUV use
• Minimal brake dust for cleaner wheels

• Proven compound formula — unchanged for over a decade, a testament to its consistency and customer acceptance

The Ultimax compound includes a carefully optimized blend of steel fiber — significantly less than many competing brake pads, which can contain up to 50% steel fiber by volume. This balanced formulation delivers smooth, confident braking once the pads are properly bedded in, whether you're navigating city streets or highway driving.

The EBC UD1731 is EBC's number-one worldwide selling brake pad line, offering an ideal balance of performance, durability, value, and safety for the everyday driver.
