EBC DP82098RP1 Racing Brake Pads for Track and Competition Use - RP-1

The EBC RP-1 racing brake pad is a dedicated motorsport compound designed for high-performance vehicles driven hard on track, delivering exceptional modulation and control that allows drivers to extract maximum performance from every braking zone. Manufactured 100% in EBC Brakes' Bristol, UK facility from a carbon Kevlar blend of materials, these pads are engineered for demanding track conditions where both performance and consistency matter.

Performance Characteristics:

• Friction coefficient of 0.45μ maintained between 100-750°C (200-1400°F) for stable, repeatable performance
• Usable cold friction of 0.35μ below 100°C, providing effective braking from the first lap
• Progressive pedal feel with unrivalled modulation and no snatchy pedal feel or excessive noise
• Exceptionally low disc wear compared to virtually all other competitor race materials
• Suitable for 13-inch (330mm) rotor diameter applications with FMSI D1453 design

Technical Features:

• Revolutionary Nucap NRS system hook pad retention for secure attachment
• Stainless steel backing plates with reduced heat conduction (no paint)
• Pad dimensions: 188.00 x 76.00 x 16.00mm
• Good pad life with excellent disc longevity under race conditions

Ideal Applications:

The RP-1's progressive response characteristic makes it well suited for inherently over-servoed vehicles where a softer pad material is desirable to allow greater finesse when on the brakes. RP-1 is the more suitable choice for light-medium weight cars, cars with non-EBC Big Brake Kits fitted, or vehicles without ABS. This compound offers 25% lower friction coefficient compared to EBC's RP-X, making it ideal for applications requiring more progressive brake response and enhanced driver control.

Important Note: Due to its relatively high friction coefficient, RP-1 is not Reg 90 homologated for road use within Europe and is designed exclusively for track and competition use.
