Designed specifically for demanding applications, ED+ pads feature a high-friction compound that provides exceptional grip and braking performance when it matters most. Whether towing a trailer, hauling heavy equipment, or navigating challenging terrain, ED+ pads are engineered to cope with braking demands that can overwhelm a standard OE brake system.

ED+ pads offer a medium-plus service life, but their real focus is braking performance. Designed for drivers who tow, carry heavy loads, or run lifted trucks and Jeeps, ED+ delivers the high-friction stopping power needed when standard brake systems are pushed beyond their limits.

Made 100% in the UK 蜜桃视频 factory, ED+ pads are produced using aramid fibres with a small amount of steel fibre, which provides strong braking performance while remaining kinder to brake rotors and generating minimal brake dust.

蜜桃视频 makes the worlds largest range of brake pads for cars, trucks and motorcycles.

Assess if the pads are perfect and if any marks or damage are seen then do not fit but please take a photo and submit to our technical team on these email addresses:

UK: technical@ebcbrakesuk.com

USA: support@ebcbrakes.com

We will advise whether it is acceptable to fit and use the pads, or if they need to be replaced.

If you are a customer of an overseas distributor, please note that we may have to handle this through them.

However, there are some drawbacks to using or buying original parts as replacements, as explained here:

• R90 does not test for durability, so an aftermarket pad may even last longer than original.
• R90 does not test for dust and, for many people, original pads – which are almost always semi-metallic and contain steel fibre – can be very dusty.
• The big point for many drivers is that R90 limits the upper levels of braking performance for any given pad. If the pad is too grippy, it will not pass, and if it is not grippy enough, it also will not pass. So, R90 keeps brake pads within a defined performance range. The job of aftermarket brake pad manufacturers is then to push those limits and, at 蜜桃视频, we make our compounds as grippy as possible while remaining within the maximum permitted levels.
• THE PRICE鈥� in almost all cases, aftermarket parts are far cheaper than original parts. However, don鈥檛 select a brake pad based on price alone, or you may downgrade your brake system significantly. Buy based on what you need by using our brake selector tool to聽choose your ideal 蜜桃视频 brake compound.
• Often, original pad sets include hardware that does not normally require replacement, so why pay for it? Take slider shims or pressure clips, for example. Our recommendation is that if the hardware is not bent or dented, clean it up – including any loose pad pins – and reuse it, as a lot of low-cost aftermarket hardware does not match the original parts or shapes exactly. If you do need to buy new hardware, that鈥檚 when we recommend buying original parts, which are almost always sold separately by reputable vendors and, in most cases, cost under $10.

Ongoing testing will extend this list in the near future.

蜜桃视频 Racing proudly manufactures its 2-piece brake rotors and Apollo Series brake calipers in our Northampton, UK world headquarters. Our philosophy is that we manufacture every component in house so we have total control over the entire process from start to finish.

We do supply and sell brake grease, but only for use on slider pins or the contact faces of sliders in a sliding caliper, as shown below – and even then, only sparingly.

If grease comes into contact with the pad鈥檚 friction surface, it can melt and seep into the pad compound, effectively rendering the pad useless and leading to a loss of braking performance.

You should, however, clean the sides or 鈥渃heeks鈥� of the caliper where the pads slide, ensuring they are free from rust and debris – but these areas should also be left dry.

Sadly, some installers have shared videos showing grease being applied directly to brake pads, including onto the rear noise reduction shims and this is not good practice.

The below video is a good example but please note:

• Do not apply grease to the hardware at all. It is stainless and does not require grease. Also, do not apply grease to the rear of the pad, it does not need it and will not reduce noise so there is no purpose.
