EBC UD358 Ultimax OEM Replacement Disc Brake Pads

The EBC Ultimax UD358 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 everyday commuters, urban drivers, and daily-use passenger cars, 4x4s, and light trucks.

Key Features:

• ECE R 90 Approved: The entire Ultimax range carries full ECE R 90 certification, making these pads a 100% legal equivalent to original manufacturer parts — at a fraction of the OEM price
• EBC Brake-In® Coating: A factory-applied surface treatment conditions the rotor on first use and helps deliver immediate stopping power right after installation — no extended break-in period required
• Centre Slot Design: A precision centerline slot reduces heat expansion, minimizes the risk of cracking, and helps dissipate brake noise
• Chamfered Edges: Beveled pad edges prevent edge lifting, reduce the risk of corrosion-related pad separation, and contribute to quieter braking
• Low Rotor Wear: EBC's friction material is significantly less aggressive on cast iron rotors than semi-metallic alternatives — it's common for one rotor to outlast two sets of Ultimax pads
• Minimal Dust & Noise: The Ultimax compound produces minimal brake dust and has been tested in extreme cold and damp conditions with zero brake noise reported
• Hardware Included: Wear leads and hardware are included where originally fitted as standard on the vehicle
• MIRA Tested: Independent testing at the MIRA research facility in the UK confirmed that Ultimax pads typically stop faster than original OEM pads

The Ultimax compound's broad operating temperature range makes it equally effective in cold northern climates and hot, humid conditions, delivering confident, consistent braking across all everyday driving scenarios. Note: The Ultimax range is designed for street and daily driving use only — it is not intended for track, racing, rally, or drifting applications.
