Product Description

The EBC DP81211RPX RP-X Race Brake Pads are engineered for high-performance track and competition use, offering exceptional braking power for a wide range of BMW 3 Series models, including the E36 and E46 platforms. These pads feature a high initial bite with a friction coefficient of 0.55µ, providing immediate braking response without the need for warm-up, making them ideal for sprint races and hill climbs.

Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, the RP-X pads maintain consistent braking performance up to 850°C, with brief peaks up to 1000°C. The stainless steel backplates reduce heat transfer to the brake system, helping to maintain optimal brake fluid temperatures. The NUCAP NRS hook pad retention system ensures the pad material remains securely attached to the backplate, enhancing safety and reliability.

Please note that these pads are designed for use with cast-iron discs and are not suitable for carbon-ceramic discs. They are not R90 homologated for road use in EU member states and are intended for track and competition applications only. Ensure compatibility with your vehicle's braking system before installation.
