EBC 08-11 Volkswagen CC 3.6 Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads
Performance Brake Pads use a performance friction compound engineered for Volkswagen. This is a compound we recommend for drivers seeking braking capability beyond typical factory pads—with stable pedal feel and consistent response when braking loads rise.
Modern performance platforms can overwhelm factory pads during repeated hard stops—thermal stability matters. Compared with many factory pad formulations, this compound typically delivers higher friction levels and improved fade resistance when installed correctly and bedded-in properly.
Features & Benefits
- Increased braking torque vs typical OEM pads
- Stable friction characteristics across a broad temperature range
- Improved resistance to fade under repeated braking
- Predictable pedal feel with progressive modulation
- Compatible with OEM and performance replacement rotors
- Bedding-in required to establish a consistent transfer layer
Best For
Best high-performance street/spirited-driving pad for Volkswagen models that see repeated hard braking.
Common Questions
Are these better than factory brake pads?
In most applications, yes. Expect stronger bite and improved fade resistance during repeated stops. Results depend on rotor condition and proper bedding.
Do I need to bed these pads in?
Yes. Bedding is critical to establish a stable transfer layer and achieve consistent friction and pedal feel.
Will they make noise or dust?
All performance pads can produce some noise and dust depending on the vehicle and installation. Correct bedding and clean hardware help minimize both.
