Truck/SUV Extra Duty Brake Pads;
Upgrading to a premium high-friction brake pad is the most cost-effective way to enhance your truck or SUV's braking performance. EBC Extra Duty Red Pads are designed to offer more friction, greater heat capability, and a longer lifespan, making them an excellent choice for those looking to improve their vehicle's braking without the high cost of a full brake kit.
The UK EFI Bristol factory of EBC Brakes has used new ECO friendly technology to develop a brake pad that has unusually high friction levels yet still has good manners for street use with brake effect being strong from cold when the brake is first applied. The race pedigree of the material used also guarantees effective stopping up to temperatures exceeding 1400 F well above the maximum experienced in heavy braking, towing or downhill descents. Winter testing in Ohio on a fleet five popular light trucks showed us the proof on cold braking in the worst wet and cold conditions where many performance brakes would not even start to show good brake effect. So these are pads that have an extremely wide range of usability. The new carbon granule based Extra Duty material is also rotor friendly, minimal in dust and noiseless and each set is supplied with revolutionary NUCAP piston insert shims, another first from EBC
In many cases, a Big Brake Kit or larger rotors may not be necessary, as the high-performance ED+ pads can provide the braking boost you need.
Manufactured entirely in the UK, EBC Extra Duty Red Pads for Light Truck, Jeep & SUV range uses aramid fibers and a small amount of steel fiber to ensure rotor friendliness and minimal dusting. Previously, ED pads were orange, and these are still available until stock runs out. The new red pads incorporate advanced materials for improved performance, but the orange grade remains a highly regarded option.
