EBC Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads | 4WD (1979-95 Pickup)

EBC Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads

For 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup 4WD Gas Models

Overview

The EBC Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads are a premium street-focused replacement for 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup 4WD models. Designed for everyday road use, Ultimax2 combines smooth and predictable braking response with strong cold performance, low dust, quiet operation, and reduced rotor wear.

The non-metallic friction compound contains zero steel fiber, making Ultimax2 well suited to restorations, daily drivers, highway use, and mildly modified Toyota trucks where comfort and consistent braking are the priorities.

Toyota used two primary front brake pad configurations across these 4WD Pickup applications. Select the Fitment option that matches your vehicle's model year and factory engine before ordering.

Key Features

• Premium OEM-style replacement friction compound
• Non-metallic formulation with zero steel fiber
• Low dust for cleaner wheels
• Progressive and predictable braking feel
• Strong friction performance from cold
• Quiet street-focused operation
• Shimmed, slotted, and chamfered construction
• Brake-In surface coating assists initial bedding
• Nucap NRS hook technology secures the friction material to the backing plate
• ECE R90 approved for OEM-equivalent road braking performance

Daily Driving Performance

Ultimax2 is designed primarily for normal street and highway driving rather than repeated extreme-temperature braking. The compound provides responsive cold braking and a progressive pedal feel while remaining gentle on brake rotors.

This makes Ultimax2 particularly well suited to stock and mildly modified Toyota Pickups used for commuting, restoration builds, recreational driving, and general road use.

For trucks with substantially larger tires, heavy armor, frequent towing, or repeated high-temperature braking, a more load- or performance-focused compound may be preferable.
