When every millisecond counts, predictable brake modulation is the difference between setting a personal best and overshooting a apex. The EBC Brakes RP-1 Racing Rear Brake Pads are engineered exclusively for track-driven BMW models requiring refined pedal feedback and unwavering fade resistance. Designed to cater to drivers who prefer fine pedal control over an overly aggressive initial bite, the RP-1 compound delivers a linear, progressive torque profile that excels in trail-braking scenarios and prevents sudden ABS intrusion.
Manufactured at EBC's specialized facility in Bristol, UK, these motorsport-dedicated rear pads feature a proprietary carbon-aramid formulation that maintains a stable 0.45 coefficient of friction at temps exceeding 1400°F. Designed with mechanical Nucap® NRS® hook retention to prevent friction material detachment under extreme heat, along with unpainted stainless steel backing plates that isolate heat from your brake fluid, the RP-1 set ensures lap-after-lap consistency. Whether installed on a dedicated track chassis or a street car seeing aggressive circuit duty, the RP-1 compound provides maximum control and performance.
Key Features
Motorsport-Focused Modulation: Engineered for smooth, linear pedal control to prevent lockups and maximize corner-entry trail braking.
High-Temperature Performance: Resists heat fade up to 1400°F (750°C) with a consistent 0.45 friction level.
Mechanical Pad Bonding: Utilizes the patented Nucap® NRS® matrix to mechanically bond friction material to the backing plate.
Hydraulic Heat Protection: Bare stainless steel backing plates resist corrosion while acting as a barrier against heat migration into the calipers.
Gentle on Brake Rotors: Formulated with low metal content to dramatically extend disc life compared to traditional metallic track pads.
Factory Scorched: Thermally pre-conditioned to minimize required bed-in time and deliver peak performance straight out of the box.
