Track driving exposes brake pads to heat cycles and pedal loads that destroy street compounds within a session or two. EBC Racing's RP-1 front brake pads give the 2015 Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L a purpose-built compound that stays consistent from the first lap to the last, with a friction level of 0.45 across a working range of 100 to 750 degrees Celsius (200 to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Progressive bite that rewards finesse. The RP-1 compound delivers a moderately high friction level with a softer, more progressive initial response. Drivers who prefer to trail-brake, modulate pressure through a corner, or simply avoid the snappy, over-servoed feel of an aggressive race pad will find the RP-1 easier to work with across an entire stint.
Suited for over-servoed setups. Vehicles where even light pedal input triggers excessive brake force, whether from a stock booster or a big brake kit with large-diameter rotors and high-displacement calipers, benefit directly from RP-1's softer bite characteristic. The compound dials back that hair-trigger response and gives the driver a predictable, linear feel under hard braking.
Compatible with aftermarket big brake kits. RP-1 pads work with many non-EBC big brake systems where the over-servoed sensation is a known side effect of larger caliper piston displacements. Fitting RP-1 in place of a more aggressive compound can recover the pedal feel and modulation that a big brake upgrade sometimes takes away.
Product Benefits
- Race-Specific Compound: RP-1 operates reliably from 100 to 750 degrees Celsius, covering the full heat range of hard track use.
- Consistent Friction Level: A stable 0.45 friction coefficient across the operating range eliminates the fade and guesswork common with street pads under track loads.
- Progressive Response: Softer initial bite gives drivers greater pedal modulation and control compared to more aggressive race compounds.
- Over-Servo Correction: Reduces the snappy, difficult-to-modulate feel on inherently over-servoed platforms and big brake kit installations.
- Front Axle Fitment: Engineered specifically for the front brakes of the 2015 Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L.
- Direct Replacement: Fits the factory brake caliper without modification.
