The EBC DP81032RPX RP-X Front Brake Pads are built for drivers who don’t just take corners—they own them. Made for track-day enthusiasts and race teams alike, these pads give you serious stopping power from the moment you hit the pedal. No warm-up laps. No delays. Just instant, aggressive braking right out of the pits.

With a consistent friction level of 0.55 from cold all the way up to 850°C, RP-X pads deliver sharp, confident braking through the entire session. They’re a strong match for sprint races and hill climbs, where hesitation isn’t an option. Compared to EBC’s RP‑1 compound, the RP‑X brings about 25% more friction, offering a noticeably firmer bite.

Now, this can be a game-changer—especially if your car’s on the heavier side or your brake system doesn’t offer much assist. But here’s the trade-off: if you’re running a lightweight setup or don’t have ABS, a milder compound might feel more forgiving. Still, for drivers who want direct feedback and dependable grip under pressure, RP-X delivers every time.

FEATURES

  • Instant cold bite—no warm-up required

  • High friction (0.55) across a wide temperature range (0–850°C)

  • Suited for sprint racing, hill climbs, and circuit use

  • Strong initial bite with a positive pedal feel

  • Ideal for heavier or under-servoed vehicles

  • Para-aramid race compound

  • Fits front calipers; includes pads for both sides

  • Premium build quality for consistent performance

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
