Product Description

The EBC UD971 Ultimax2 rear parking brake pad set is designed for high-end European performance and luxury vehicles requiring precise and reliable handbrake operation. Built using a durable aramid fiber friction compound, it delivers consistent holding performance while maintaining low noise and minimal wear characteristics suitable for premium applications.

This pad set is engineered specifically for parking brake systems rather than primary service braking, making it suitable for vehicles such as the Aston Martin DB9, Vantage series, Audi R8, and Jaguar S-Type. The Ultimax2 formulation ensures stable friction engagement, smooth release, and long-term durability even under repeated use in varying temperature conditions.

Due to the specialized nature of parking brake assemblies in these platforms, correct fitment depends heavily on exact rear brake configuration and caliper design. Verification of FMSI D971 compatibility is essential before installation to ensure proper operation and safety.
