Built for serious track days, the EBC RP-1 Front Brake Pads deliver exactly what experienced drivers need—confidence and consistency under pressure. With a stable friction coefficient of 0.45 across a wide temperature range (100°C to 750°C), these pads give you that crucial bite without sacrificing finesse. They’re engineered for high-performance BMWs that tend to feel a bit too eager on the brakes—those “over-servoed” systems where a gentler, more controllable response goes a long way.

What really stands out? The modulation. You get incredible control and pedal feel through every turn and braking zone, so you can push harder without second-guessing. Plus, the RP-1 compound is thermally pre-bedded at the factory. That means no annoying fade early on and no need to burn them in—just fit and go. And because of their low wear rate, they won’t eat through your rotors or themselves anytime soon. It’s performance you can rely on, session after session.

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.
