Sprint events and hill climbs give brakes no warm-up window, and a pad that needs heat to bite is a pad that costs you time on the first corner. EBC Racing's RP-X compound delivers a consistent 0.55 friction coefficient from ambient temperature all the way to 750°C (1,400°F), so your 2005-2010 Mustang V6 4.0L stops hard from the very first application.
100% brake effect from a cold start. Most performance compounds require several aggressive stops before reaching peak friction. RP-X reaches full performance immediately, making it the right choice for sprint racing, hill climbs, or any circuit format where you cannot afford a sighting lap to bed the pads in.
High-friction response across the full temperature range. The 0.55 friction level holds stable from 0°C to 750°C, so the pedal feel and stopping power you experience on lap one match what you get deep into a long session. There is no fade cliff to manage and no guessing when the compound finally comes on song.
A different character, not just a stronger one. EBC Racing positions RP-X alongside its RP-1 compound as a distinct option rather than a direct upgrade. RP-X trades some of RP-1's progressive feel for a more aggressive initial bite, suiting drivers who want a sharp, confident pedal response and prefer to manage deceleration with that extra aggression on their side.
Rear-axle fitment for the S197 platform. These pads are sized and profiled for the rear calipers on 2005-2010 Mustang V6 4.0L models, slotting in as a direct replacement with no modifications required.
