EBC Racing's RP-1 compound is an ultra-high performance track and race pad designed for high performance vehicles driven hard on track. RP-1 has a very stable friction coefficient of 0.45μ up to and beyond 750°C, making it an excellent performer for even the most demanding vehicle applications.Due to its relatively high friction coefficient, RP-1 is not Reg 90 homologated for road use within Europe and is therefore illegal for use on the public road. Unlike some other race pads on the market, RP-1 offers a usable cold friction of 0.35μ below 100°C meaning it can be safely used as a road pad for non-European markets where Reg 90 homologation is not mandatory. At 100°C the friction gently climbs to 0.45μ and stays there up to and beyond the designed upper working temperature range of 750°C.RP-1 boasts good pad life but the unique characteristic of RP-1 is that it boasts exceptionally low disc wear, lower than virtually all other competitor race materials tested by EBC Racing. RP-1 has a progressive pedal feel with unrivalled modulation. RP-1 does not have the snatchy pedal feel or high levels of noise often associated with other race pads on the market.Compared to EBC Racing's other track pad RP-X, RP-1 has a 25% reduction in friction coefficient across its working temperature range making RP-1 the more suitable choice for light-medium weight cars, cars with non EBC Big Brake Kits fitted, or vehicles with no ABS. For heavy or inherently under-servoed vehicles which suit a very aggressive pad, EBC Racing's other track material RP-X may be preferable.

When upgrading your vehicle, you need to consider improving its braking system in order for you to have a more enjoyable driving experience. There are a lot of brake manufacturers out there in the market but only a few can really claim an actual performance gain and one of them is EBC.
How It Started

EBC has one of the largest inventories of brake discs and pads with over 5000 part numbers for every vehicle imaginable. This allows them to cater to a wide range of customers whatever car you own, whenever you are in the world. The company even offers pads for the military such as their Humvee, armoured vehicles and tanks.
A Pad For Every Occasion

Automotive Disc Brake Pads
The EBC Brakes warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship only. Warranty is for replacement of similar product or refund of purchase value only excluding all labour and ancillary charges such as vehicle towing, fitting, inconvenience, purchasing of other manufacturers products and is good for a period of twelve months from date of purchase or 10,000 miles of highway use. Proof of mileage will be required. Warranty is invalid if product is used for taxi/hire car, racing, rally, drifting, trackday experience driving, or any other form of competition. There is absolutely no warranty on any EBC product for race use. Warranty does not cover brake noise or normal wear and tear. Some brake pad systems cause pads to wear faster than others. Drivers/users must assess the performance and durability of EBC Brakes products themselves if any EBC product is to be used in racing.
Automotive Disc Brake Rotors
Warranty is for replacement of similar product or refund of purchase value only excluding all labour and ancillary charges such as vehicle towing, fitting, inconvenience, purchasing of other manufacturers products and is valid for a period of six months from date of purchase or 10,000 miles of highway use. Warranty is invalid if product is used for racing, rally, drifting, trackday experience driving, or any other form of competition. There is absolutely no warranty on any EBC product for race use. Drivers/users must assess the performance and durability of EBC Brakes products themselves if any EBC product is to be used in racing.
No warranty is offered for brake vibration suffered due to uneven rotor thickness wear after incorrect installation of brake rotors. It is commonly known in the brake rotor business that accurate mounting and checking of runout on brake rotors is paramount at installation and in spite of necessary warnings many mechanics still see fit to ignore this warning and make no effort whatsoever to check rotor runout. This leads to brake vibration in the 3-5,000 miles lifetime period and is not a warrantable condition. The solution for vibration at this stage is to have the rotors turned or replaced and to thoroughly clean the mounting flange on the vehicle and carefully check for runout before returning the vehicle to service use.

Warranty is for replacement of similar product or refund of purchase value only excluding all labour and ancillary charges such as collection, fitting, inconvenience, purchasing of other manufacturers products and is good for a period of twelve months from date of purchase or 5,000 miles of highway use.

The EBC rotor and pad is sold as a matched set and developed to work together, do not risk damaging your rotors with using a pad that may damage your new EBC rotor product.

How to proceed with a warranty claim
A proof of purchase receipt showing the date of purchase and mileage installed, endorsed by an independent mechanic who fitted the parts or a store staff member who sold you the parts will be required to be returned with all of the products purchased. To enable your vehicle to be used whilst your warranty claim is considered, should you need to purchase replacement parts this must be done by purchasing the parts from EBC themselves. In the event of a successful compensation award, we will refund the credit card that you used to buy the replacement parts in full or part depending on the nature of the claim. EBC Brakes reserves the right to make full or partial compensation at its sole discretion depending upon the condition and mileage used of the returned suspect parts. For example, if you have used the product for several thousand miles and the defect is noticed, only a partial compensation may be offered.
