The EBC Ultimax2 UD1273 is a front disc brake pad set for the 2008–2011 Chrysler Town & Country with the 3.3L V6. The manufacturer describes the Ultimax2 as a fully non-metallic pad with no steel fiber, which makes it easier on cast iron rotors than steel-laden OE-style compounds. It also carries the manufacturer's GG friction rating and a Code "N" environmental grade. Compared with a budget pad, the case for this one is a cleaner-running compound that the manufacturer says lasts longer and helps preserve rotor life. Its shimmed, chamfered, and slotted design and EBC's BRAKE-IN coating are meant to speed up bedding in after installation.
Confirm fitment against your VIN before ordering, since application ranges vary across sources. This is a front-axle swap on a minivan used mostly for stop-and-go family driving, so buyers searching for a quiet, non-metallic front pad for a Town & Country 3.3 are the intended audience. Owners on user forums commonly pair fresh pads with new rotors, and bedding the pads properly is the main thing that determines how smooth the first stops feel.

The manufacturer describes the Ultimax2 as a non-metallic pad with zero steel fiber, which it says makes the pad less aggressive toward cast iron rotors.
The manufacturer states the pad is graded Code "N" under the USA brake ratings system, which it presents as its top environmental rating.
Owners on user forums have reported heavy brake dust from Ultimax2 pads on other vehicles, so expect more dust than some OE pads produce.
