What is a disc brake pad set?

A disc brake pad set is a batch of brake pad upgrades made from higher-grade materials. They are often axle-specific (i.e., designed either for the front or rear axle). Also, disc brake pad sets like the UD1826 match the brake calipers and rotors of the 2015-18 Hyundai Sonata. So, you know that it will fit.

What are 3 reasons to upgrade?

Improved Control:

Heat is known as the number one enemy of brake systems. In extreme cases, overheating can cause brake fade or even total brake failure. With the EBC Brakes front disc brake pad set UD1826, you won’t handle heat buildup issues at the wheels as much as you may with your stock brakes. The reason is that these brake pads feature thicker layers of heat- and friction-resistant, premium-grade friction materials. As a result, these brake pads function a lot cooler. Therefore, they deliver a firmer bite and smoother, more controlled braking.

Shorter Stopping Distances:

This brake set features a dense layer of EBC Brakes' proprietary high friction formula that yields much more brake torque than the friction material on your stock brake pads. So it achieves a more substantial initial bite and greater clamping force. Because of the above, this set will require less distance to bring your car to a complete stop.

Longer Wear Life:

The brake pads that you get with the EBC Brakes front disc brake pad set UD1826 feature thicker backing plates made from harder compounds, and so they are less likely to warp or fracture; they are also better at keeping dust and debris from coming between the brake pads and rotors. These brake pad upgrades also feature substantial layers of specially formulated, premium-grade friction material better at withstanding intense braking friction. Therefore, you will likely stay longer without getting brake pad replacements when you install this brake pad set.
