EBC UD557 Ultimax OEM Replacement Disc Brake Pads

The EBC Ultimax UD557 is a premium OEM-grade brake pad engineered and manufactured at EBC's Bristol, UK facility. Designed to meet or exceed the performance of any factory-installed pad, the Ultimax is the ideal choice for everyday urban and highway driving on cars, SUVs, and light trucks.

The Ultimax compound is built with an optimized steel fiber blend that keeps costs down without sacrificing performance — delivering significantly less steel fiber content than competing semi-metallic pads on the market. The result is a pad that is gentler on rotors, produces minimal brake dust, and performs confidently across a wide heat range whether in stop-and-go city traffic or steady highway use.

Key Features:

• Manufactured in the UK at EBC's Bristol brake manufacturing facility
• Center slots help expel heat, dust, debris, and water from the braking surface
• Pre-chamfered edges reduce noise and minimize break-in wear on rotors
• Noise-reducing shims included to prevent pad vibration against calipers
• Patented EBC Brake-In® coating for fast, reliable bed-in right after installation
• Low rotor wear — rotor longevity can extend to two full pad change cycles
• Minimal brake dust for cleaner wheels
• Wide operating heat range suited for all driving conditions
• ECE R 90 certified — fully approved as a direct OEM safety equivalent

The Ultimax line is EBC's top-selling brake pad worldwide, with tens of millions of sets sold. Its ECE R 90 approval confirms it is a true safety-equivalent replacement for factory pads. EBC backs this pad with a 12-month / 10,000-mile limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
