EBC’s highest performing friction level ever
Fitment for 2017+ Evora 400, 410, 430, GT
Developed from the ground up as a focused track day and race pad, RP-1™ sets a new high-water mark in EBC’s 35-year history making world class brake pads.
By adopting a no-compromise approach coupled with cutting-edge organic friction chemistry, RP-1™ shows just what’s achievable when EBC’s engineers were let off the leash and given the simple mandate ‘develop the highest performing pad, money no object’. RP-1™ is the pinnacle of 3 years R&D, 1,000’s hours dyno testing, 100’s laps of UK circuits with EBC’s development Nissan GT-R and unanimous approval by club-race teams across the UK.
After two years of research and testing, EBC Brakes launches its flagship race pad material to complete the line-up of performance and track pads currently offered – called RP-1.
Made 100% in the EBC Brakes Bristol UK facility from a Carbon Kevlar blend of materials, capable of temperatures and stability rarely seen in performance brakes.
The pads feature:
True Race performance to highest race temps
Longer wear life under race conditions
Stable and repeatable braking lap after lap
Stainless steel back-plates (no paint)
*It has been found that these pads combined with the stock rotors on an Emira can have vibration issues when brought up to temp under track use or harder canyon use. , they are fine with slotted rotors such as Girodisc or Rotora.
-
Uneven Pad Deposits: When race pads get extremely hot, they break down and leave inconsistent, "splotchy" material on the rotor surface. The pads then stick slightly more or less as they pass over these spots, causing a pulsation you feel in the pedal and steering wheel.
- Drilled Rotor Limitations: Drilled holes are weak points that can become hotspots, leading to "blue" spots and uneven wear. They are less efficient at cleaning the pad surface compared to blank or slotted rotors, allowing the build-up to worsen
