EBC RP-1 Race Front Brake Pads for F8X M2/M3/M4 (DP82130RP1)

EBC Brakes Racing’s dedicated motorsport pad RP-1™ pairs high-performance with unprecedented modulation and control, resulting in a track pad that feels uniquely different to the competition and allows drivers to extract every last tenth from each and every braking zone in their F8X M2, M3 or M4 models.

Vehicle Fitment:
2016-2018 BMW M2 (F87)
2019-2020 BMW M2 CS/ Competition (F87)
2015-2018 BMW M3 (F80)
2015-2020 BMW M4 (F82/F83)
2019-2020 BMW M4 CS (F82)

Feaures:
• Made 100% in EBC Brakes’ Bristol, UK pad factory
• Stainless steel backing plates (reduced heat conduction, no paint)
• Backplates feature Nucap® NRS® hook pad retention system to eliminate the chance of pad debond
• Good pad life with excellent disc life
• Ideal pedal feel for repeatable braking performance at track days
• No Street Pre-Bed required

EBC RP-1 Bed-in Procedure:

• No Street Pre Bed needed or legally allowed, these are pure race track compounds – BUT only in the EU markets is anyone going to worry about this. Generally, the EBC RP pads are quite safe to use on the streets and many drivers fit them and drive to and from race tracks happily with very limited noise. RP pads don’t need to “Warm-up” and are as good as or better than most stock pads in lower-speed highway driving. Full potential comes though when you really work these pads though and that is why we class them as a race pad.
• Single gentle lap to seat pads to rotors followed by Fade 3 as above should be all that is needed

More Info:
Designed for vehicles driven hard on track, RP-1™ possesses a moderately high friction level of 0.45 between 100 – 750°C (200 – 1400°F). The more progressive response characteristic of RP-1™ makes it well suited for inherently ‘over-servoed’ vehicles where a softer pad material is desirable to allow greater finesse when on the brakes.

RP-1™ also works superbly when used with many competitors (non-EBC) Big Brake Kits, where the more progressive pad response helps to negate the over-servoed sensation often experienced after fitment of larger diameter brake discs and calipers with large piston displacements.

EBC Racing would like to emphasise that it is not a case of RP-1™ being ‘less good’ than RP-X™, rather it is ‘different’ and designed to provide a distinctly different response characteristic (less aggressive bite) which some drivers may prefer.

For a detailed comparison between the 2 materials, please read the following article where we aim to help you make an informed choice on which material is likely to work best for your application and individual driving style.
