Product Description

The EBC UD1808 Ultimax2 brake pad set is an OEM replacement rear axle solution designed for a wide range of Subaru vehicles including WRX, Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, and Legacy models. It uses a refined aramid fiber-based friction compound engineered to deliver smooth, quiet, and consistent braking performance for everyday driving.

As part of EBC's Ultimax2 series, this pad is ECE R90 certified, ensuring OEM-equivalent safety and performance standards. The formulation prioritizes low dust, reduced noise, and stable friction behavior across varying temperatures, making it well suited for daily commuting, highway driving, and family SUV use.

With chamfered edges and shimmed backing plates, the UD1808 helps reduce vibration and brake squeal while maintaining rotor-friendly wear characteristics. It is intended for drivers seeking a dependable OEM-style replacement rather than a performance upgrade, focusing on comfort, longevity, and predictable braking response.
