What is a disc brake pad set?

A disc brake pad set is a batch of brake pad upgrades made from premium materials. They are often axle-specific (i.e., designed either for the front or rear axle). Also, disc brake pad sets like the UD1828 match the brake calipers and rotors of the 2016-17 Hyundai Veloster. So, you know that it will fit.

What are 3 reasons to upgrade?

Improved Control:

Your car can show way more control and composure while braking or slowing down when equipped with a set of good-quality brake pad upgrades. When heavily worked, your stock brake pads may, at times, fail to engage as firmly as they ought to due to high heat levels, and this may result in the vibrating of your steering wheel. The EBC Brakes front disc brake pad set UD1828 benefits from higher-grade friction materials that deliver a firmer initial bite and that have higher heat tolerance. Therefore, you will experience firmer and more controlled braking when your car is fitted with this brake pad set.

Shorter Stopping Distances:

Shorter stopping distances mean everything when competing against other drivers or trying to go around corners quicker. According to Car & Driver, the 2016-17 Hyundai Veloster requires a minimum of 178 feet to pull to a stop from 70 mph. When this car is equipped with this brake set, the braking distance may reduce by 15 to 20 percent. Therefore, it will enable you to get back on the gas pedal quicker after every braking motion, and as a result, move faster than before.
