Want better stopping power and longer life than stock? Then the EBC EXTRA DUTY ED+ Light Truck, Jeep and SUV brake pads are the solution. The most cost-effective way to boost your truck or SUV Brakes is with a change to a premium high friction pad. This is what ED+ is all about… more friction, more heat capability, longer life. EBC Brakes is launching its Big Brake Kit range for trucks over the summer of 2022 but there is no reason not to first try the economic route to get more brakes with this premium pad upgrade. You may not NEED a BBK or even a larger rotor at all.

Made 100% in the UK EBC Brakes factory from aramid fibers and a tiny amount of steel fiber the ED+ range is also kinder to rotors and dusting is minimal. USA trucks using large outside diameter tyres pose a problem for brake systems as follows (this is not a criticism of the excellent work that Ford and Dodge do bringing us the superb trucks – it’s just an explanation of what happens with larger off-road tyres on a truck). The first problem is a thermal or kinetic energy issue on a heavy 2.3 ton high powered truck with 700 BHP plus where the heat of braking needs to be handled, pads get hotter so a high fade resistance – high stability pad needed (that’s why this graph shows a test at 400C/750F not lower ). Let’s choose two vehicles, a Gen 6 Mustang and the TRX both with 380mm rotors, or the Raptor with its 350mm rotors. The tyre rolling radius on the Mustang is 13.5” and on the TRX it is 17.3″, that’s a huge 30% increase in rolling radius, and on the Raptor the tyre rolling radius is 16.5” which is a 22% increase over the Mustang. The final issue is a spongy brake pedal that can occur during heavy deceleration as the caliper has to do more work because of the larger tyre diameters. The solution to all is a higher friction pad, reducing the need for higher pedal or caliper pressures.

Features:

• British made top quality product – new Red paint finish identifies the new grade AF 903/09
• Backing plate steels feature NUCAP NRS system hook technology for 5 times the bond strength of conventional pads
• After bedding ( up to 600-800 miles ) pads are silent
• New dual slot and chamfer pattern to reduce noise and improve de-gassing.
• Fade-free brake material capable of a wide range of operational temperatures
• Pads should be allowed to seat to your discs/rotors with normal urban driving and then after 600-800 miles follow this by 15 medium to heavy brake applications to complete the bed-in and surface cure process.
• More brake “grip” than stock and most low-cost aftermarket pads at less cost than original parts
• Longer life than any other pad we have ever made and we think, longer life than anything else out there in the aftermarket, including stock pads
• Features red “brake in’ surface coating for instant safe braking after install
