Ultimate racing brake pads for maximum track performance – not road legal

EBC RP-X™ DP81254RPX are top-tier racing brake pads engineered for professional motorsport and demanding track-day applications. With a stable friction coefficient of μ ≈ 0.55 across 100 °C – 850 °C +, RP-X™ delivers exceptional stopping power, precise pedal modulation and fade-free performance even under the toughest conditions. Designed for vehicles like the Honda Civic Type-R (EP3, FN2 K20Z4) and Honda S2000 used in dedicated track or race environments.

Main features and benefits

• Extreme braking power – μ ≈ 0.55 in the 100 – 850 °C range for maximum control on track.
• Superior modulation – linear response allows precise pressure control and smooth release.
• High fade resistance – consistent performance under sustained thermal load.
• Longer service life – optimized compound wears slower than typical race materials.
• Lightweight construction – reduced mass for better brake balance and pedal feel.
• No ECE R90 approval – for track use only.
