Description
Tailored for high-performance vehicles pushed to their limits on the track, RP-1™ boasts a moderately high friction level of 0.45 between 100 – 750°C (200 – 1400°F). Its more progressive response profile makes it particularly suitable for vehicles with inherently 'over-servoed' systems, where a softer pad material allows for greater finesse during braking. RP-1™ excels when paired with many competitors' (non-EBC) Big Brake Kits, as its progressive pad response helps counter the sensation of being overly served often encountered after installing larger diameter brake discs and calipers with large piston displacements. EBC Racing underscores that RP-1™ isn't 'inferior' to RP-X™ but rather 'distinct,' engineered to offer a different response profile (with less aggressive bite) that some drivers may prefer.
