EBC RP-1™ DP81254RP1 – Front Racing Brake Pads Honda Civic Type-R EP3 / FN2 / S2000

Professional racing brake pads for dedicated track use (not road legal)

EBC RP-1™ DP81254RP1 are professional motorsport brake pads engineered for race and track-day applications. The advanced friction compound maintains a stable μ ≈ 0.45 coefficient from 100 °C up to 750 °C +, providing consistent, predictable braking power and excellent pedal modulation under extreme thermal load. Dimensionally compatible with Honda Civic Type-R (EP3, FN2 K20Z4) and Honda S2000, RP-1™ delivers maximum control and durability during repeated hard braking on circuit.

Main features and benefits

• Stable friction at high temperatures – consistent μ ≈ 0.45 from 100 °C to 750 °C +.
• Exceptional modulation – linear braking response for precise pedal control.
• Fade resistant – no performance loss during long race sessions.
• Low wear rate – reduced pad and disc consumption compared to typical race compounds.
• Lightweight design – optimized density for improved brake balance and feel.
• No ECE R90 approval – track use only, not approved for public roads.

Installation and track recommendations

• Track use only – RP-1™ must not be used on public roads.
• Bedding-in procedure: perform 3-5 medium brakes (100 → 50 km/h) then 4-6 hard brakes (140 → 60 km/h) without complete stop; cool down laps afterwards.
• Use with high-quality discs and high-temperature racing brake fluid; ensure proper ducting and cooling on track.
