Part #: DP81110RP1

Overview

The EBC Racing RP-1 Front Brake Pads are engineered for high-performance vehicles requiring exceptional braking stability and thermal management. Designed specifically for over-servoed brake systems and Big Brake Kits, these pads deliver a consistent 0.45 friction coefficient, ensuring a smooth and controllable pedal feel without the aggressive, grabby bite typical of many race pads. Ideal for drivers who demand precision and reliability on both street and track, the RP-1 pads maintain performance integrity even under extreme heat conditions up to 750°C (1400°F).

These pads are a perfect fit for Dodge Viper models from 2002 through 2017, covering all V10 engine variants, as well as the rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model 3 from 2017 onward. Whether upgrading your braking system or replacing worn components, the RP-1 pads offer a balanced blend of race-level performance and everyday drivability.

Construction & Design

The RP-1 pads utilize a proprietary friction material blend that balances aggressive stopping power with pedal modulation. The compound is formulated to withstand extreme temperatures without glazing or fading, ensuring consistent performance lap after lap. Backing plates are engineered for rigidity and heat dissipation, minimizing pad distortion and maintaining even wear. This meticulous construction supports reliable braking performance in both street and track environments.
