EBC RP-1 Brake Pads

EBC RP-1 Brake Pads to suit Hyundai & Kia. 

Part Numbers: 

Engineered for demanding track use, the RP-1 material delivers a stable, progressive friction profile and unmatched rotor-friendliness, making it the top choice for enthusiasts seeking finesse and longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

• Stable Friction Coefficient: Possesses a consistent μ=0.45 across its working temperature range (100° to 750°), ensuring predictable stopping power under heavy thermal load.

• Exceptional Control & Feel: Offers the best modulation of any material in the EBC range, allowing for precise braking inputs and expert trail braking finesse.

• Ultra-Low Rotor Wear: Its composition uses a very low metal-fibre content, which drastically reduces rotor wear and extends the life of expensive brake discs.

• Wheel-Friendly Dust: Produces brake dust with minimal metallic content, preventing damage to alloy wheels typically caused by metallic 'hot rocks'. Any dust is easily washed off.

• Usable Cold Bite: Has a functional, slightly diminished friction of μ = 0.35 below 100°, achieving full performance after a couple of medium snubs.

• Ideal for Over-Servoed Systems: With a 20% lower friction coefficient than RP-X, it provides a less aggressive bite, promoting better control on factory-sharp brake pedals (e.g., Porsche, BMW M, performance VAG cars).

Why Choose RP-1?

The RP-1 pad achieves its high performance through adhesive friction, not simple abrasion. This unique composition is the secret to its exceptionally low brake rotor wear. If you prioritize maximum control, progressive pedal feel, and rotor longevity on the track, the RP-1 is your ultimate racing material.
