Track days and sprint events demand brakes that work from the very first pedal application, not after a warm-up lap. The EBC Racing RP-X pads deliver a friction coefficient of 0.55 across the full operating range from ambient temperature to 750°C (1400°F), giving your 2016-2020 Mustang GT350 full braking power from a cold start.
100% brake effect from cold. Unlike many race compounds that need heat cycles before they grip properly, RP-X reaches full friction immediately. That characteristic makes these pads particularly well suited to hill climb events and sprint racing formats where brakes may never fully heat through, and equally capable on circuit where a high initial bite and aggressive pedal feel are priorities.
Stainless steel backing plates with Nucap NRS retention. Each pad ships with a stainless steel backplate that reduces heat conduction into the caliper while eliminating the corrosion and paint flaking common on conventional steel plates. Nucap NRS mechanical hooks are machined directly into the backplate surface, physically locking the friction material in place and removing any possibility of pad debond under sustained high-temperature use.
Consistent wear characteristics over race use. RP-X provides excellent pad life relative to its performance level, though disc wear will be moderate by design, a trade-off typical of compounds running at this friction level. Plan service intervals accordingly if this compound will see regular track rotation.
A different tool, not a better one. EBC Racing positions RP-X alongside RP-1 as a distinct compound, not a replacement. RP-X trades RP-1's progressive build for a more aggressive initial bite. Drivers who prefer immediate, commanding braking response will find RP-X the better match for their style.
