Ultimax2 pads are engineered to deliver consistent stopping power with minimal dust and rotor wear, making them an excellent choice for drivers seeking reliable, maintenance-friendly brake components without the premium price tag of high-performance alternatives.

Construction & Design:

The Ultimax2 brake pads feature a carefully engineered friction material that includes a modest amount of steel fiber, significantly less than many competitors who use up to 50% steel fiber content. This optimized blend ensures a smooth, quiet braking experience while maintaining excellent wear characteristics. The pads are vented and precisely dimensioned to fit the Scion iQ’s front brake calipers, with dimensions of 116mm length, 51mm height, and 16mm thickness, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation.

The black-coded compound is designed to provide a stable friction coefficient across a broad temperature range, making it suitable for everyday driving without compromising safety or comfort. The vented design aids in heat dissipation, helping to prevent brake fade during normal use.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are direct replacements for the front brakes of the 2012 to 2015 Scion iQ, matching OEM specifications exactly. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or a knowledgeable DIY enthusiast following the vehicle owner’s manual and EBC’s installation guide DVD, which is available for purchase separately. Proper bedding-in of the pads is recommended to achieve optimal performance and longevity.

No modifications are necessary, and the pads are compatible with the stock 255mm diameter vented rotors. The pad thickness of 20mm and center hole diameter of 55mm ensure seamless integration with the factory braking system.
