EBC Extra Duty Front Brake Pads

1997–1999 Jeep Cherokee 2.5L

ED91255

Overview:

Designed and manufactured at EBC Brakes’ UK EFI Bristol factory, these Extra Duty front brake pads deliver exceptional stopping power for your 1997–1999 Jeep Cherokee 2.5L. Utilizing advanced eco-friendly technology, these pads provide unusually high friction levels while maintaining smooth, predictable performance suitable for everyday street driving.

Whether you’re navigating city streets, towing, or descending steep hills, these brake pads offer reliable braking performance even under demanding conditions. Their race-proven material composition ensures effective stopping at temperatures exceeding 1400°F, far beyond typical heavy braking scenarios.

Tested rigorously in harsh winter conditions in Ohio, these pads excel in cold and wet environments where many performance brakes struggle to deliver consistent stopping power. This makes them an excellent choice for drivers seeking dependable, versatile braking performance across a wide range of driving situations.

Key Features:

These EBC Extra Duty brake pads incorporate innovative materials and design elements to enhance braking efficiency, durability, and user experience:

• Advanced carbon granule-based friction material provides high friction levels for strong braking response from the first application, even when cold.
• Eco-friendly manufacturing process reduces environmental impact without compromising performance.
• Race pedigree material capable of withstanding temperatures above 1400°F, ensuring consistent stopping power during heavy braking, towing, or downhill driving.
• Rotor-friendly formulation minimizes wear and extends rotor life.
• Low dust generation keeps wheels cleaner compared to conventional pads.
• Virtually noiseless operation for a quiet, comfortable driving experience.
• Includes revolutionary NUCAP piston insert shims to reduce brake noise and improve pedal feel.
• Precision fitment with FMSI Pad No. D712 ensures easy installation and reliable performance.
• Compatible with vented rotors measuring 280mm diameter, 78mm height, and 24mm thickness.

Construction & Design:

The brake pads feature a carefully engineered carbon granule-based friction material developed through EBC’s extensive racing experience. This material balances aggressive stopping power with rotor friendliness and low noise characteristics. The pads are designed to fit vented rotors with specific dimensions to ensure optimal contact and heat dissipation.

Each set includes NUCAP piston insert shims, a patented innovation by EBC that helps eliminate brake squeal and enhances pedal modulation. This combination of materials and design results in a brake pad that performs reliably in both everyday driving and demanding conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are designed as direct replacements for the front brakes on 1997 to 1999 Jeep Cherokee models equipped with the 2.5L engine and 82mm high rotors. They fit vented rotors with a diameter of 280mm and require no modifications for installation.

• Direct bolt-on fitment using factory mounting points.
• No cutting, drilling, or special tuning required.
• Compatible with OEM brake hardware and components.
