EBC front brake pad fitment — verified EasySearch YMM applications (product-level union).

Ford Probe 1993–1997

Kia Sephia 2001

Mazda 626 1993–2002

Mazda MX-6 1993–1997

Mazda Protegé 1999–2001

Fitment is product-level. Confirm brake package and exact physical pad configuration in Step 1; do not assume every variant fits every listed vehicle.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Choose the EBC front brake-pad compound that suits your driving. This listing covers verified applications for the 1993–1997 Ford Probe and 1993–2002 Mazda 626, with additional MX-6, Protegé and Kia Sephia coverage listed below.

Step 1 — Confirm your brake package

These four source SKUs are listed as front-axle pads for the same Ford Probe 2.0 16v application and overlap in the authoritative YMM data. Verify your original caliper and pad outline before ordering. There is no compound-dependent fitment change; alternative caliper packages, where present, must be identified by their physical pad shape.

Verified vehicle/model/year coverage (YMM union):

  • Ford Probe: 1993–1997
  • Mazda 626: 1993–2002
  • Mazda MX-6: 1993–1997
  • Mazda Protegé: 1999–2001
  • Kia Sephia: 2001

Coverage above is product-level. A vehicle appearing here does not independently verify each pad SKU or caliper configuration; confirm the brake package and shape for your vehicle.

Step 2 — Choose your EBC compound

  • Ultimax2 (UD637): OE-style replacement for everyday road use.
  • Greenstuff (DP2971): responsive street-oriented compound for daily and spirited driving.
  • Redstuff (DP3971C): ceramic street-performance option focused on road use and reduced dust.
  • Yellowstuff (DP4971R): higher-friction option for more demanding spirited road driving; follow EBC application guidance.

Compound selection does not alter physical fitment.

Step 3 — Verify the physical pad shape and SKU

Compare the shape, backing plate, retaining features and EBC part number with the pads currently fitted, particularly if your vehicle has a different brake or caliper package. The four options are EBCDP2971, EBCDP3971C, EBCDP4971R and EBCUD637.

Installation and bedding

Inspect rotor condition, hardware and caliper function during installation. Follow the bedding instructions included with the exact EBC compound; avoid heavy repeated stops before bedding is complete.

Frequently asked questions

Are front and rear pads interchangeable? No. These are front pad options only.

Do all compounds fit differently? No. Compound changes friction characteristics; it does not change the required pad shape.

Does YMM coverage guarantee fitment on every trim? No. Confirm the installed caliper, brake package and EBC SKU.

Why Choose EBC Brake Pads?

EBC offers purpose-built compounds for differing street and performance needs. AlconKits brings performance-braking expertise to helping you select the correct compound and physical pad configuration for your vehicle.

How would you describe your braking style?
Be honest — this helps match bite and pedal feel to how you actually drive.
🕊️
Smooth & Progressive
I want easy, linear feel. Comfort and predictability over outright bite.
✓
⚖️
Firm but Controlled
I brake firmly when needed but don't threshold brake every corner.
✓
🔥
Late & Aggressive
Maximum initial bite. I brake deep and hard, every time.
✓
🎯
Trail Braking
I carry braking into corners — I need consistent release and feel.

What's the highest heat scenario your brakes will see?
Compounds are engineered around specific temperature windows. Choose the most extreme situation you'll regularly encounter.
Cold
Street
Sport
Track
Race
❄️ Cold Climate / Gentle Use (under 100°C)
Mountain driving in cold temps or very gentle braking — needs immediate cold bite from the first stop
✓
🟢 Normal Street (100–400°C)
Typical daily driving — brakes rarely see sustained heat buildup
✓
🟡 Spirited / Mountain Passes (400–600°C)
Long descents, heavy vehicles, spirited canyon driving or repeated hard stops
✓
🔴 Track / HPDE (600–900°C)
Sustained hard braking on circuit — brakes get genuinely hot every session
✓
⚫ Racing (900°C+)
Endurance, sprint, or club racing — maximum sustained heat every lap
✓
How do you feel about brake dust and noise?
Higher-performance compounds often produce more dust and occasional squeal. Tell us your tolerance.
🤫
Keep It Clean & Quiet
Clean wheels and silent operation matter to me. I'll trade some peak bite for this.
✓
🤷
Some Dust Is Fine
Happy to clean wheels more often if it means better braking.
✓
💪
Performance Only
Dust, squeal, smell — I don't care. Give me the best stopping power.
✓
How important is rotor longevity to you?
Aggressive compounds can accelerate rotor wear. On Alcon-grade rotors, this is especially worth considering.
💰
Rotor Life Matters
I want pads that are gentle on rotors. Replacement costs are a real concern.
✓
⚖️
Balanced Trade-off
I'll accept moderate rotor wear for meaningfully better stopping power.
✓
🏆
Performance First
Rotors are a consumable. I'll replace them as needed. Max stopping power wins.
