EBC RPX Race Brake Pads

EBC RP-X race brake pads (also written RPX) are ultra-high performance track and race disc brake pads. They are built for performance vehicles driven hard on track and for dedicated race cars, especially heavier, high-powered ones. The RP-X compound gives a high initial bite and a firm, responsive pedal for aggressive circuit driving.

Key Features:

• Stable friction: A friction coefficient of about 0.55 mu that holds steady across a very wide temperature range, up to and beyond 850°C (1562°F).
• No warm-up needed: High friction is available from a cold start. This suits autocross, sprint races, timed track events and hill climbs.
• Strong initial bite: Compared with EBC's RP-1 compound, RP-X has roughly 25% higher friction and a more positive initial bite.
• Stainless steel backing plates: These help reduce heat transfer to the calipers.
• NUCAP NRS pad retention: The hook-style retention system gives a strong bond between the friction material and the backing plate.
• Race-focused design: Well suited to under-servoed vehicles and cars running aftermarket master cylinders or brake bias adjusters.

Track-use notes: RP-X is designed for maximum track performance, so expect more brake dust and some pad noise. Disc wear is comparable to other popular track and race materials, and higher than with EBC's RP-1. RP-X pads are intended for motorsport use and are not approved for public road use in EU member states.

Each part number in the RP-X line is matched to a specific caliper and brake application. This gives track drivers and racers a consistent, repeatable braking package from a well-known brake specialist.
