EBC RP-1 Front Brake Kit

Dodge Durango / Jeep Grand Cherokee 6.2L 2018-2026

Part #: S29KF1027

Overview

The EBC RP-1 Front Brake Kit is a high-performance braking solution designed specifically for the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (2018���2021) and Dodge Durango Hellcat (2021���2026) equipped with 6.2L engines. Featuring advanced 2-piece floating rotors, this kit delivers exceptional stopping power, superior heat management, and enhanced durability under demanding driving conditions. Ideal for enthusiasts who push their high-powered SUVs on both street and track, the RP-1 kit balances strong initial bite with consistent friction and extended component life.

Engineered to reduce brake fade and rotor wear, these rotors improve overall vehicle dynamics by lowering unsprung and rotational mass. Whether tackling spirited drives or aggressive track sessions, the EBC RP-1 kit ensures reliable, fade-free braking performance with quiet operation.

Key Features

Designed for durability and performance, the EBC RP-1 Front Brake Kit includes:

• 2-piece floating rotor design for enhanced heat dissipation and minimized warping
• Outer friction rings cast from high carbon G3500 disc alloy for superior wear resistance
• Patented stainless steel SD-Drive bobbins allowing independent rotor ring movement
• Anti-rattle clips on each bobbin for silent, vibration-free operation
• 48 curved cooling vanes per rotor to maximize airflow and thermal management
• Handed rotors optimized for precise left and right side installation
• Consistent friction coefficient of 0.45 mu maintained up to and beyond 750��C operating temperature
• Exceptional low disc wear compared to other race materials
• Weight savings over OEM rotors, reducing unsprung and rotational mass for improved handling
• Serviceable design allowing replacement of friction rings without changing the hub

Construction & Design

The EBC RP-1 rotors are precision-engineered using premium materials to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving. The outer friction rings are crafted from a high carbon G3500 alloy, renowned for its excellent wear resistance and crack prevention even under extreme track conditions. The innovative 2-piece floating design separates the friction ring from the central hub, connected via stainless steel SD-Drive bobbins that allow the rotor to expand and contract independently. This significantly reduces thermal stress and the risk of warping.

Each bobbin is fitted with an anti-rattle clip to ensure quiet operation without sacrificing performance. The rotors feature 48 curved cooling vanes that promote efficient heat dissipation, maintaining optimal braking temperatures and preventing fade during intense use. This advanced engineering results in a robust, long-lasting rotor that performs reliably in both street and track environments.

Performance & Sound

The RP-1 compound used in this brake kit delivers a smooth and progressive friction curve, starting at a moderate 100��C with a friction coefficient of 0.45 mu that remains stable through operating temperatures exceeding 750��C. This ensures consistent braking performance without sudden grab or fade, providing confidence during aggressive driving. The floating rotor design combined with anti-rattle clips contributes to a quiet braking experience, eliminating common noises often associated with high-performance brake systems.

Installation & Fitment

This brake kit is a direct fit upgrade for the 2018���2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and 2021���2026 Dodge Durango Hellcat equipped with 6.2L engines. Installation requires no modifications as the rotors match OEM bolt patterns and dimensions precisely. The 2-piece design also simplifies future maintenance, allowing friction rings to be replaced independently of the hub, reducing long-term service costs and downtime.

What's Included

• Two 2-piece floating front brake rotors (left and right handed)
• Stainless steel SD-Drive bobbins with anti-rattle clips
• Installation hardware as required
