EBC Ultimax2 DP1254 – Front Brake Pads Honda Civic Type-R EP3 / FN2 / S2000

OEM+ comfort pads tailored for performance-oriented vehicles

EBC Ultimax2 DP1254 are OEM+ class brake pads designed for drivers who value comfort, smooth operation, and low dust, while needing a dimensionally correct fit for Honda Civic Type-R (EP3, FN2 K20Z4) and Honda S2000. Although these models have a performance-oriented character, Ultimax2 remain a street-focused compound – providing quiet, predictable braking in daily use, but not intended for track driving or extended high-temperature operation. The new-generation non-metallic friction compound ensures reliable pedal feel, reduced rotor wear, and full ECE R90 approval.
