We show you the 91传媒 components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome to our new 鈥楽uit Your Style鈥 blog series, where we match you up with 91传媒 upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

First up, we tackle undoubtedly the most common style of motoring out there: daily drivers. Whether it鈥檚 the work commute, popping to the shops or the long-distance family jaunt to the other side of the country, we all rely on decent, reliable brakes that can perform in a variety of situations on our daily-driven vehicles.

91传媒鈥 range of brake discs and rotors that match this style of driving is thankfully huge. There are a number of varying friction materials and rotor styles to choose from, offering subtly different characteristics when it comes to noise, performance, dust and cooling.

Below are some 91传媒 components that are suitable for daily-driven vehicles.

Brake Pads

Ultimax2

The perfect quality daily driver pad option for all modern cars: petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric.

These premium quality, British-made pads are designed to meet or exceed the performance of any OEM pad and are fully R90 approved. The 91传媒 Ultimax range are long lasting, high friction pads designed for normal urban driving at all speeds, even on prestige cars, 4x4s and light trucks.

Ultimax pads feature centre slots, edge chamfers and Brake鈥慖n surface coating to condition discs after installation and help to quickly deliver stopping power on new pads. Hardware and wear leads included where fitted as standard. Tests at the MIRA research facility prove that these pads typically stop faster then OE.

Greenstuff

In tests, Greenstuff has been proven to stop a vehicle 20ft shorter than using stock pads. Greenstuff pads are fully shimmed, chamfered and slotted for silent braking and also feature the EBC Brake鈥怚n surface coating to accelerate pad bed鈥恑n after installation.

These pads are made from a specially designed softer compound which gives a longer lifetime as well as improved pedal feel at lower speeds.

Redstuff

Ceramic particles (not fibres) enhance the aramid fibre formulation used in 91传媒 Redstuff to deliver powerful and long-lasting silent braking for the discerning driver.

They also offer excellent low dust characteristics 鈥 showing an improvement of around 20-25% compared to OE 鈥 ideal for those who prefer to clean their wheels less frequently.

Expect great all-round performance, low dust and minimal rotor damage characteristics from this fantastic all-rounder.

Brake Rotors

Standard D Discs

Undoubtedly one of the best-selling and most popular aftermarket brake rotors on sale worldwide, 91传媒鈥 D Discs offer OEM quality made to the exact same spec as original parts, using G3000 grey iron.

Precision machined, balanced and 100% one-by-one runout inspected to guarantee zero rotor distortion out of the box.

The quality and price point of the 91传媒 discs combined with the 10,000 mile/12 month warranty make these a best-buy brake part, equal to or better than original parts.

GD Discs

The latest in sport rotors, GD Discs feature wide aperture slots that draw cool air into the braking contact area and reduce temperatures, preventing brake fade.

Now featuring reduced three-slot venting which provides slightly less air noise under heavy braking whilst still maintaining the benefits of cooler running with the full-width slot design.

The design of these discs means that some wind noise is observed and if drivers feel they would find this offensive they are advised to select the quieter USR-series or the EBC plain (D) disc.

Another great feature of slotted discs is the way they maintain flat and parallel pad wear and avoid the record grooves or galling common with non-slotted discs. This improves pad contact and braking throughout the life of the disc and pad set.

USR Discs

Super-quiet sport-slotted brake discs, featuring the new 91传媒 narrow-profile slot pattern which helps cool and de-gas brakes under load and speed, but eliminates air noise common with some slotted discs.

Another great feature of slotted discs is the way they maintain flat and parallel pad wear and avoid the record grooves or galling common with non-slotted discs. This improves pad contact and braking throughout the life of the disc and pad set.

Another major benefit of the 91传媒 fine slotted discs is their ability to totally resist cracking common with ‘through-drilled’ discs.

BSD Discs

The new 91传媒 BSD-series brake discs vent the brake area better, drawing heat away from the central brake pad area and with more slot under the pad contact area.

These discs are totally silent in operation and de-gas your brakes when used at speed or under heavier loads minimising heat fade.

Now with lower pricing and the silver grey anti corrosion coating with show-thru silver slots, these discs are surely the best through-wheel looks and most functional sport discs on sale.

The fine slot pattern prevents the ribs that typically generate after 5,000-10,000 miles of use on non-slotted discs and maintain flat and parallel pad wear and due to the fine slot design can even extend pad wear life.

What are the Best Brake Pads for my Truck/SUV? /ebc-news/what-are-the-best-brake-pads-for-my-truck-suv/ Wed, 03 Jan 2024 13:30:25 +0000 https://ebcbrakes.com/?p=37536 The post What are the Best Brake Pads for my Truck/SUV? appeared first on 91传媒.

Choosing brake pad upgrades for larger vehicles such as trucks can be difficult, but 91传媒 is here to help

There鈥檚 a lot of choice when it comes to upgrading the braking components on your truck, but within the EBC range 鈥 one of the top brake manufacturers in the world 鈥 there are three great options specifically designed for this exact application.

All Three Options Feature:

  • 100% British-made brake pads
  • Copper-free to conform to new ECO laws and Prop 65
  • Shimmed, chamfered, and slotted for silent braking
  • EBC鈥檚 Brake-In Coating that seats pads super-fast

Brake Pad Line-Up

 

Greenstuff Elite

An Aramid-fiber, reduced-dust compound, designed as an entry-level sport upgrade for light trucks and SUVs. Medium-plus lifespan, these are great brakes with minimal rotor wear 鈥 better than stock with less dust and no noise. Please for more details.

Yellowstuff Pads

Similar bite to the Elite, but with a higher heat threshold for drivers who might be pushing their vehicles a little harder in terms of load and speed. Please for more information on Yellowstuff pads.

ED+ Extra Duty Pads

If you have a truck running oversized wheels and tires, and feel your stock brakes are lacking in power after some upgrades, these will solve your problems. By 鈥榚xtra duty鈥, we don鈥檛 mean 鈥榚xtra life鈥, we mean 鈥榤ore braking power鈥. These pads have more bite than just about anything you will find, and provide powerful stopping power for oversized tire setups and lifted trucks, as well as trailing and towing machines. Please for a more detailed explanation on Extra Duty pads.

Whatever brake pads you choose, just make sure your rotors are in good condition before installation. If badly worn or grooved, bed-in times will be significantly extended and some noise whilst bedding into your worn rotors may occur.

EBC products were installed on Jen鈥檚 truck that enjoys both on- and off-road use in North Carolina, USA

North Carolina-based Jen has enjoyed her 2011 Jeep Liberty Renegade truck for a number of years now. Recently moving to North Carolina from the more urban Illinois saw a shift in driving styles from predominantly city cruising to more rural, off-road activities.

When it came to upgrading her braking system, Jen settled on 91传媒鈥 Greenstuff Elite pads and Plain Discs 鈥 both capable and tough for the varying terrain she now faces on a daily basis.

Jen鈥檚 thoughts on the products can be viewed below in her own words.

鈥淗aving purchased my Jeep Liberty Renegade a few years ago, I was really happy with my new truck. Having just got my licence, it was perfect for what I needed living around the Illinois area doing suburban street driving in and around the city.

鈥淎 few years down the line and I had moved from Illinois to the Outer Banks NC. Having had the truck almost two years now, I had got used to the braking system and how it felt.鈥

鈥淚t was recommended by my local mechanic that I should have my pads and rotors changed, so before just getting them done I thought I would have a chat with my brother. He said that he only used EBC products on his vehicles and that I should look into the Greenstuff Elite series pads that are designed for trucks and SUVs, with some Plain Rotors as they would massively improve the overall efficiency and performance of the braking system and would be safer with the varying weather we have out here. He also mentioned these would perform well on and off road as I do enjoy driving on the beach over the dunes.

鈥淚 went ahead and looked into the products he suggested and got them on order. They were much better value than the other pads and rotors available for my truck; they were at my house within two days and I couldn鈥檛 wait to get them fitted. My brother was actually in town when they turned up, so he offered to fit them for me. They were fitted within a few hours and the fit of the parts was perfect with no need for any modification.

鈥淪o far, these brakes have felt perfect and definitely an upgrade over the original system fitted. You can instantly feel the improvement in both pedal feel and modulation, I have already taken these off-road on the very dusty sandy beaches of the Outer Banks, NC. They performed faultlessly through the sand and water. These will be really tested on the road when I take my car on a 6000-mile round trip to San Diego, California next week.鈥

鈥淚 now understand why my brother insists upon using EBC on all of his vehicles and I will definitely be purchasing from EBC again as it has been a very good straightforward experience, along with exceptional customer service and great delivery times.

鈥淭hank you EBC!鈥
