Overview

The EBC Ultimax2 Front Brake Pads are a premium OEM-style replacement upgrade designed for 1984–1989 Toyota 4Runner and 1979–1988 Toyota Pickup models equipped with 4WD. Ultimax2 pads are designed to provide dependable daily driving performance, low dust output, and long service life while maintaining strong stopping confidence.
