If you're looking to upgrade your Volkswagen's braking system, the EBC Brakes Ultimax OEM Plus Front Disc Brake Pad Set is a fantastic choice. Designed specifically for everyday driving, these pads offer reliable performance without the aggressive bite of sport pads, making them perfect for urban environments.
The Ultimax pads are crafted in the UK and are tailored to meet or exceed OEM standards. They offer excellent stopping power while maintaining a similar lifespan to your original brake pads. This makes them an ideal choice for daily driving and occasional track days, while not being overly aggressive for full road or circuit racing.
These brake pads are designed to fit the front of your Volkswagen, ensuring a seamless installation process. Do note, if you decide to upgrade the rear pads, they should match the front pads for optimal performance.
The Thermic Black coating on the pads is an anti-corrosion feature that will wear off in the pad's swept area after the first few stops. It's crucial not to use brake cleaner or any other method to remove this coating, as it can void the warranty.
While these pads provide excellent stopping power for daily driving and occasional spirited use, they are not designed for aggressive track conditions.
These pads are made to last a similar mileage to your original pads, so you can expect a good lifespan under normal driving conditions.
It's recommended to use the Ultimax pads on both the front and rear for balanced braking performance.
Customers have praised the EBC Ultimax pads for their quiet operation and smooth braking experience. Many have noted that they feel a noticeable improvement over stock pads, especially in terms of stopping power and consistency during daily commutes.
