EBC UD873 Ultimax OEM Replacement Disc Brake Pad Set

The EBC UD873 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 factory brake pads, the Ultimax is the ideal choice for daily drivers, urban commuters, and light truck or SUV owners who demand reliable, consistent braking without overspending.

Built on a synthetic fiber-based compound, the Ultimax formula contains no heavy metals and uses significantly less steel fiber content than competing brake pads — resulting in a cleaner, quieter, and more rotor-friendly pad. Disc wear is substantially reduced compared to more abrasive semi-metallic alternatives, helping extend the life of your rotors.

Key Features:

• ECE R90 Certified — Fully approved under European brake safety standard ECE R90, delivering performance equivalent to OEM parts
• EBC Brake-In® Coating — Factory-applied surface coating conditions rotors after installation for fast, safe pad bed-in right out of the box
• Center Slots & Edge Chamfers — Reduce brake noise, prevent heat-related expansion, and minimize cracking
• Noise-Reduction Shims — Included on the backplate for a quiet, vibration-free driving experience
• Low Dust Formula — Produces significantly less brake dust than OEM pads, keeping wheels cleaner
• Powdercoat Finish — Applied to both the pad face and backplate for lifetime corrosion resistance and moisture protection
• Zero Sulphides — Complies with US environmental regulation SAE J2975:2011
• British Made — Manufactured at EBC's dedicated UK production facility with over 60 years of brake material engineering expertise

The Ultimax range is EBC's number-one worldwide 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 consistent quality and broad customer acceptance. The Ultimax delivers excellent value, costing a fraction of dealer OEM pricing while meeting the same safety benchmarks.
