The EBC Ultimax2 UD1107 is a front disc pad set built on a non-metallic friction formula. The manufacturer says the Ultimax2 contains zero steel fibre, which makes it a cleaner pad that is far less aggressive to cast iron rotors. It carries the GG friction rating and is designed for low dust. It is approved to ECE R90 braking regulations. Owners and buyers who want steady, daily-driver stopping without premium race pricing will find that compound a sensible middle ground.
The pad is catalogued for the 2006-2013 Audi A3 2.0 Turbo with Girling rear calipers, but confirm the application against the manufacturer's fitment guide before ordering. The pads are shimmed, chamfered and slotted, and use the manufacturer's Brake-In coating for a quick bed-in. The manufacturer claims disc wear is reduced by up to 50% compared with more abrasive semi-metallic pads. These pads are not suitable for track use. Owners on user forums report heavy brake dust on at least one non-performance application, so expect more dust than on a low-dust pad.

The manufacturer describes the Ultimax2 as gentle on rotors because it contains no steel fibre, and claims disc wear is reduced by up to 50% compared with semi-metallic pads.
The manufacturer states that the Ultimax2 is shimmed, chamfered and slotted, and that all Ultimax range pads sold in the USA are shimmed.
