When you’re pushing your Porsche to its limits on track, you need brakes that hold nothing back. The EBC DP81516RPX RP-X Front Brake Pads are built for drivers who expect maximum stopping power—right from the first lap. Engineered for serious track days and competition use, these pads deliver firm, confident braking even under extreme heat. No warm-up laps needed. You get instant response, which is a game-changer in sprint races, hill climbs, or tight technical circuits where every millisecond counts.

Compared to the RP-1 compound, the RP-X pads bite harder and feel sharper, making them ideal for heavier cars or setups with minimal servo assistance. If you’re running a Porsche with a solid braking setup but want more assertive pedal feel and fade-resistant performance, this set brings the grit without the drama. It’s aggressive but controlled—giving you the feedback you need without overwhelming your setup.

There’s a reason seasoned drivers swear by RP-X: it just works when you need it most.

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.
