EBC Brakes RP-X Compound - Unleash Track-Ready Stopping Power

If you're a proud owner of a 2007-2012 Subaru WRX, you know the importance of having reliable and high-performance brake pads, especially when you’re pushing your vehicle to its limits on the track. The EBC Racing RP-X compound is engineered specifically for performance enthusiasts like you, who demand nothing less than peak braking performance in the most intense driving conditions.

Key Features of the EBC RP-X Brake Pads

  • Friction Coefficient: A stable coefficient of 0.55? that remains consistent up to and beyond 850°C, ensuring exceptional performance even under extreme conditions.
  • Cold Performance: Delivers high friction right from the start, eliminating the need for a warm-up period. This is particularly beneficial for sprint races and hill climbs where every second counts.
  • On-Track Focus: Designed for dedicated race cars and performance vehicles, the RP-X is built for maximum on-track performance, delivering a more aggressive initial bite compared to EBC's RP-1 pads.
  • Brake Dust and Noise: Expect higher levels of brake dust and noise due to the aggressive nature of these pads, which is typical for high-performance track materials.
  • Compatibility: Specifically tailored for the 2007-2012 Subaru WRX, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Installation and Real-World Feedback

Installing the RP-X pads is straightforward, making it a great option for DIY enthusiasts. One 2008 WRX owner noted, “After swapping to the RP-X pads, my stopping power improved dramatically during track days. I can brake later into corners without any fade, and the bite is just incredible!”

However, keep in mind that while the RP-X is great for track use, it’s not R90 homologated for public road use in EU member states. That said, many users find them suitable for driving to and from events where local laws allow.

  • Product Type: Ultra-high performance track and race brake pads
  • Temperature Range: Up to and beyond 850°C

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.

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.
