EBC Extra Duty Brake Pads High Performance Carbon Granule

EBC Extra Duty brake pads (also sold as the ED, ED+ or 9000 Series) are high performance carbon granule disc brake pads. They are built for light trucks, SUVs and Jeeps that tow, haul and descend grades. The carbon granule friction material gives strong stopping power from a cold start. It is also easy on rotors, produces little dust and runs quietly.

Key Features:

• Carbon granule friction material: Rotor-friendly compound that holds up across a wide range of operating temperatures and resists fade.
• Low dust and low noise: The formulation keeps wheels cleaner and braking quiet once the pads are bedded in.
• NUCAP NRS hook technology: The backing plate steel bonds the friction material about five times more strongly than conventional pads.
• NUCAP piston insert shims: These insulating shims help reduce noise.
• Vee grooves and slots: Grooves and a slot-and-chamfer pattern help vent heat, clear dust and debris, and improve de-gassing.
• Red brake-in surface coating: Gives safe braking right after installation.
• Long wear life: EBC describes this as its longest-lasting brake pad material.

Bed the pads in with normal urban driving. After 600-800 miles, follow with 15 medium to heavy brake applications to complete the bed-in and surface cure process. EBC Extra Duty pads are a good upgrade over stock pads for drivers who want durable, quiet, low-dust braking under load.
