EBC UD426 Ultimax OEM Replacement Disc Brake Pad Set

The EBC UD426 Ultimax is a premium OEM-replacement disc brake pad engineered and manufactured at EBC's Bristol, UK facility. Designed to meet or exceed the stopping performance of original equipment pads, the Ultimax is the ideal choice for daily drivers, urban commuters, cars, light trucks, and SUVs who want a long-lasting, low-dust brake solution at a fraction of OEM cost.

The Ultimax compound features a carefully balanced low-steel fiber blend — significantly lower in steel fiber content than competing products — resulting in reduced rotor wear, minimal brake dust, and confident braking performance across a wide temperature range. Independent testing at the MIRA research facility in the UK has demonstrated that Ultimax pads consistently stop faster than original equipment pads.

Key Features:

• ECE R 90 Approved — Fully certified as a 100% legal equivalent to original manufacturer parts, yet priced well below OEM
• EBC Brake-In® Surface Coating — Conditions the rotor surface on installation and delivers confident stopping power from the very first stop
• Center Line Slot — Prevents heat-related expansion cracks and reduces brake noise
• Edge Chamfers — Minimizes brake noise, prevents edge lifting, and helps extend pad life
• Powder-Coated Pad & Backplate — Provides lifetime corrosion resistance and prevents moisture ingress
• Low Rotor Wear — EBC's material can reduce disc wear by up to 50% compared to more abrasive semi-metallic compounds, often allowing one rotor to outlast two sets of pads
• Minimal Brake Dust — Keeps wheels cleaner for longer during everyday driving
• Universal Heat Range — Performs reliably in cold, damp Northern European conditions as well as hot and humid climates
• Hardware Included — Wear leads included where fitted as original equipment standard

The EBC Ultimax is the brand's worldwide best-selling brake pad, with tens of millions of sets sold. Its proven compound formula has remained unchanged for over a decade — a testament to its durability, performance consistency, and widespread customer acceptance. Note: Not intended for track, racing, rally, or high-performance driving applications. For spirited street use, consider EBC Greenstuff or Redstuff compounds.
