EBC Brakes Blackstuff Ultimax2 Brake Pads

EBC Brakes Blackstuff Ultimax2 Brake Pads are premium OEM-replacement brake pads designed for everyday road driving. The Blackstuff name is associated with EBC’s black-coded Ultimax range, with Ultimax2 representing the current upgraded formulation.

The Ultimax2 compound is a non-metallic formulation with zero steel fibre, designed to provide strong cold friction while being gentle on cast-iron brake rotors. EBC rates the pad GG friction grade and states that it is suitable for general highway use in both hot and cold climates.

A Brake-In™ surface coating helps accelerate the bedding-in process after installation, while the pad design incorporates chamfers and slots for progressive braking performance and reduced brake noise.

Blackstuff Ultimax2 is intended as an OE-equivalent street brake pad, making it suitable for daily drivers looking for reliable braking performance without moving to a more aggressive sport or track compound. EBC specifically states that the Ultimax2 is not suitable for track use.
