EBC RP-1 Racing Brake Pads, Front (2021 BMW M3 & M4)

Unprecedented Modulation & Control

Designed for vehicles driven hard on track, RP-1 possesses a moderately high friction level of 0.45 between 100 - 750°C (200 - 1400°F). The more progressive response characteristic of RP-1 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 also works superbly when used with many competitors (non-EBC) Big Brake Kits, where the more progressive pad response helps to negate the over-servoed sensation often experienced after fitment of larger diameter brake discs and calipers with large piston displacements.

EBC Racing would like to emphasise that it is not a case of RP-1 being 'less good' than RP-X, rather it is 'different' and designed to provide a distinctly different response characteristic (less aggressive bite) which some drivers may prefer.
