EBC Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads 4WD (1984-95 4Runner)

EBC Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads

For 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner 4WD

Overview

The EBC Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads are a premium street-focused replacement for 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner 4WD models. Ultimax2 is designed for drivers who want smooth, predictable braking, strong cold performance, low dust, and comfortable everyday operation without moving to a more aggressive performance compound.

The friction compound is well suited to restorations, daily drivers, highway use, and mildly modified 4Runners. Fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered construction helps control brake noise, while EBC Brake-In coating assists with the initial bedding process.

Multiple front brake configurations are used across the 1984–1995 4Runner range. Select the correct year range and engine type before ordering.

Key Features

• Premium street-focused replacement brake pad compound
• Smooth and predictable braking response
• Strong braking performance from cold
• Low-dust formulation for cleaner wheels
• Quiet operation during normal street driving
• Fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered construction
• Brake-In surface coating assists initial bedding
• Designed to balance pad life, rotor wear, and everyday braking performance
• Direct-fit front brake applications for Toyota 4Runner 4WD models

Daily Driving Performance

Ultimax2 is designed primarily for street-driven vehicles where comfort, predictable braking, and low dust are more important than the extreme heat capacity of a more aggressive performance pad.

The compound provides dependable braking during normal urban and highway driving while remaining rotor-friendly and comfortable for regular use. It is particularly well suited to stock or mildly modified 4Runners used as daily drivers, restoration vehicles, or light-duty recreational builds.

Drivers with substantially larger tires, heavy armor, frequent towing, or repeated high-temperature braking may benefit from one of EBC's more performance-focused compounds.
