EBC DP81539RP1 Race Brake Pads - RP-1 Front

The EBC RP-1 compound is an ultra-high performance track and race brake pad designed for high performance vehicles driven hard on track. RP-1 features a very stable friction coefficient of 0.45μ up to and beyond 750°C, making it ideal for demanding motorsport applications while providing excellent modulation and driver control.

Key Features:

• Manufactured 100% in EBC Brakes' Bristol, UK pad factory
• Stainless steel backing plates with Nucap NRS hook pad retention system for enhanced safety and reduced heat conduction
• Thermally bedded, eliminating the need to bed in on track
• Low steel fiber content with advanced organic friction technology for longer pad life and reduced disc wear
• Extremely low wear rate making them a true plug and play track pad
• Pad dimensions: 125mm x 71mm x 15mm

Compared to EBC's RP-X compound, RP-1 has a 25% reduction in friction coefficient, making it more suitable for light-medium weight cars, vehicles with non-EBC Big Brake Kits, or vehicles without ABS. Due to its relatively high friction coefficient, RP-1 is not Reg 90 homologated for road use within Europe, but offers excellent performance for track and competition use.

Important Installation Note: When upgrading brake pads, always install the same upgraded compound on both the front and rear axles to maintain proper brake bias and vehicle stability.
