EBC Ultimax is the brand's OE replacement brake pad, and this front set suits the Audi A5 and A4, with the full application list below. Made at EBC's friction plant in Bristol, UK, the current Ultimax2 formula is non-metallic with no steel fibre or sulphides, which EBC says makes it much kinder to cast iron rotors than semi-metallic pads. It is designed to run quietly with low dust, and a red Brake-In coating on the pad face gives consistent braking from the first drive. Ultimax is a road pad for everyday driving and is not intended for track use.
