Built for serious drivers, the EBC DP81552RPX RP-X Front Brake Pads are engineered to keep up when the pressure’s on. These pads use EBC Racing’s RP-X compound—a high-friction material that delivers consistent, powerful braking from the moment you hit the pedal. No warm-up laps, no hesitation—just immediate stopping force. Perfect for sprint races, hill climbs, or aggressive track days, these pads thrive in fast-paced environments where there’s no room for delay.

What sets them apart? A strong initial bite and a friction level that stays sharp all the way up to 850°C. They’re especially effective on heavier vehicles or setups without much brake assistance, giving you the confidence to push harder into every corner. If you’re running a lightweight car or skipping ABS, you might lean toward something less aggressive—but for full-on control and precision, RP-X steps up.

  • RP-X compound delivers a high and consistent friction level (0.55 μ)

  • 100% braking power available from cold—no warm-up needed

  • Designed for track and race use, including sprint and hill climb formats

  • High initial bite for confident braking under pressure

  • Performs from 0°C to 850°C with no fade

  • Ideal for heavy or under-servoed vehicles needing serious brake response

  • Supplied as one full axle set (two calipers)

  • Premium para-aramid compound for race-grade durability

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.
