EBC DP81518RP1 RP-1 Race Brake Pads for TRW Calipers

The EBC DP81518RP1 RP-1 Race Brake Pads are dedicated motorsport pads that pair high-performance with unprecedented modulation and control, designed specifically for vehicles with TRW brake calipers. These track-focused brake pads deliver a uniquely progressive braking feel that allows drivers to extract maximum performance from every braking zone.

Key Performance Features:

• Moderately high friction level of 0.45 between 100-750°C (200-1400°F)
• Progressive response characteristic suited for 'over-servoed' vehicles where finesse is essential
• Made 100% in the EBC Brakes Bristol UK facility from a Carbon Kevlar blend
• Stainless steel backing plates with Nucap NRS hook pad retention system
• Usable cold friction of 0.35 mu below 100°C for safe street driving capability

Design Philosophy:

RP-1 enables a modest amount of brake pedal travel that is beneficial for performance driving, encouraging drivers to find the limit under braking while enabling trail-braking. This makes the RP-1 particularly well-suited for modern vehicles with over-servoed brake systems, non-ABS assisted vehicles where smooth response is essential, and aftermarket big brake kit installations where a less aggressive initial bite provides better control.

These race pads are manufactured to the highest standards with materials capable of exceptional temperature stability rarely seen in performance brakes. The stainless steel backing plates reduce heat conduction to the caliper, while the advanced friction compound maintains consistent performance throughout extended track sessions.
