EBC UD1109 Ultimax OEM Replacement Disc Brake Pad Set

The EBC UD1109 Ultimax is a premium OEM replacement disc brake pad engineered and manufactured at EBC's Bristol, UK facility. Designed to meet or exceed the performance of any original equipment pad, the Ultimax is the ideal choice for daily drivers, urban commuters, and light truck or SUV owners who demand reliable, long-lasting stopping power without the cost of dealer parts.

The Ultimax compound features a carefully optimized blend that includes a minimal percentage of steel fiber — far less than many competing brake pads — delivering an effective balance of friction, durability, and rotor friendliness. With a nominal friction coefficient of 0.46 Mu, these pads deliver confident, consistent braking across a wide temperature range, from cold morning starts to sustained daily use in hot and dry climates.

Key Features:

• ECE R 90 Approved — Certified to meet European brake safety standards, making these pads a fully equivalent replacement for original equipment parts
• EBC Brake-In® Coating — Proprietary surface treatment conditions the rotor after installation for fast, safe break-in right from the start
• Shimmed, Slotted & Chamfered — Center slot reduces heat expansion and brake noise; shims provide additional NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) damping; chamfered edges reduce initial bite aggressiveness
• Low Rotor Wear — EBC's compound reduces disc wear by up to 50% compared to more abrasive semi-metallic pads, often allowing one rotor to outlast two sets of pads
• Minimal Brake Dust — Cleaner than most OEM and aftermarket alternatives, keeping wheels looking better longer
• Broad Heat Range — Performs consistently in both cold, damp northern climates and hot, humid conditions
• Made in the UK — Manufactured at EBC's dedicated Bristol brake manufacturing facility to strict quality standards

The EBC Ultimax is the brand's worldwide best-selling brake pad line, with tens of millions of sets sold. Its compound formulation has remained consistent for over a decade — a testament to its proven performance and broad customer acceptance. The Ultimax line is black-coded within the EBC range and represents outstanding value, typically priced well below comparable OEM replacement parts.
