EBC Racing RP-X Front Brake Pads

2002–2017 Dodge Viper 8.0L/8.3L/8.4L V10

Part #: DP81110RPX

Overview

The EBC Racing RP-X™ Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for high-performance applications, delivering exceptional braking power and consistency for Dodge Viper models from 2002 through 2017 equipped with V10 engines ranging from 8.0L to 8.4L. Designed for sprint racing, hill climbs, and circuit driving, these pads provide a powerful and immediate pedal bite without the need for warm-up, ensuring maximum control and confidence from the first brake application.

With a friction coefficient of 0.55 and 100% cold brake response up to 750°C (1400°F), the RP-X pads are ideal for drivers who demand aggressive braking performance under extreme conditions. Whether you are pushing your Viper on the track or tackling challenging road courses, these pads deliver consistent stopping power and fade resistance to match the vehicle’s high-output capabilities.

Key Features

Engineered for uncompromising performance, the EBC Racing RP-X Front Brake Pads offer the following key features:

• High friction coefficient of 0.55 for superior stopping power
• 100% cold brake response from ambient temperature up to 750°C (1400°F)
• Optimized for sprint racing, hill climbs, and circuit driving
• Consistent brake feel and fade resistance under extreme heat
• Designed specifically for Dodge Viper V10 engines from 2002 to 2017
• Improved pedal bite for immediate braking response
• Durable formulation to withstand aggressive driving conditions
• Compatible with factory front brake calipers for direct fitment

Construction & Design

The RP-X brake pads are constructed using advanced friction materials developed to maintain consistent performance across a wide temperature range. The formulation balances aggressive bite with controlled wear, ensuring longevity while delivering race-grade braking power. EBC’s proprietary compound is engineered to resist fade and maintain structural integrity during repeated high-temperature cycles common in competitive driving environments.

Each pad is precision-molded to exact OEM specifications for the Dodge Viper front calipers, guaranteeing a perfect fit and easy installation. The backing plates are reinforced to provide stability and reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) without compromising performance.

Performance & Sound

The EBC Racing RP-X pads provide an immediate and powerful pedal response, crucial for high-speed driving scenarios where split-second braking is essential. Their high friction coefficient ensures shorter stopping distances and enhanced control. While designed for performance, these pads maintain a relatively low noise profile compared to other racing compounds, minimizing unwanted squeal during aggressive braking.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the EBC Racing RP-X Front Brake Pads is straightforward, requiring no modifications to the factory brake system. They are a direct replacement for the front pads on Dodge Viper models from 2002 to 2017 with 8.0L, 8.3L, and 8.4L V10 engines. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper bedding and optimal performance.
