Product Description

The EBC RP-X DP83040RPX is a dedicated motorsport front brake pad engineered for the 2015-2023 Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack - specifically the 6-piston Brembo caliper with 15" front rotor setup found on PP1, PP2, Bullitt, and Mach 1 variants. Built from EBC's ultra-high performance carbon-Kevlar race compound at the brand's Bristol UK facility, the RP-X delivers a stable 0.55µ friction coefficient from cold up to 850°C, providing the immediate bite and aggressive bite-feel needed to manage the S550's mass under track-day and HPDE driving conditions.

Compared to EBC's RP-1 compound, the RP-X offers a 25% higher friction coefficient with a notably more positive initial bite - making it especially well-suited to heavy, under-servoed platforms like the S550 Mustang where progressive pad response can leave drivers wanting more clamping force at threshold braking. Each pad features stainless steel backing plates with NUCAP NRS hook-retention technology to prevent pad/backplate debond under extreme race temperatures, while pad life runs 20-30% longer than the RP-1 compound at sustained high temperatures.
