Track driving exposes a fundamental limitation of street brake pads: they fade, glaze, and lose modulation exactly when you need them most. EBC Racing's RP-1 compound addresses that gap with a friction coefficient of 0.45 across a working range of 100 to 750°C (200 to 1400°F), giving your 2016-2020 Mustang GT350 5.2L a front pad that stays consistent from the first braking zone to the last.
Progressive response, not peak aggression. RP-1 targets drivers and vehicles that benefit from a softer initial bite. The GT350's servo-assisted braking system can make an overly aggressive pad feel grabby and hard to modulate under trail braking. RP-1's more linear response characteristic lets you place the car precisely corner after corner, instead of fighting an on-off switch at the pedal.
Compatible with big brake conversions. Fitting larger-diameter rotors and multi-piston calipers amplifies servo effect and often leaves drivers complaining of an over-servoed sensation. RP-1's progressive friction curve directly counters that tendency, making it a strong choice for GT350 builds running non-OEM brake kits from any manufacturer.
A full-temperature race compound. With a friction rating that holds from cold-street temperatures up to 750°C, RP-1 performs reliably through long sessions without the glazing or fade associated with street or entry-level track pads. The compound does not require an extended burnish before it comes online, so it works on track days where warm-up laps are limited.
Product Benefits
