Performance Brake Pads use a performance friction compound engineered for your vehicle. This is a compound we recommend for drivers seeking braking capability beyond typical factory pads—with stable pedal feel and consistent response when braking loads rise.

Modern performance platforms can overwhelm factory pads during repeated hard stops—thermal stability matters. Compared with many factory pad formulations, this compound typically delivers higher friction levels and improved fade resistance when installed correctly and bedded-in properly.

Features & Benefits

• Increased braking torque vs typical OEM pads
• Stable friction characteristics across a broad temperature range
• Improved resistance to fade under repeated braking
• Predictable pedal feel with progressive modulation
• Compatible with OEM and performance replacement rotors
• Bedding-in required to establish a consistent transfer layer

Best For

Best high-performance street/spirited-driving pad for performance models that see repeated hard braking.

Common Questions

Are these better than factory brake pads?
In most applications, yes. Expect stronger bite and improved fade resistance, especially during repeated stops. Final results depend on rotor condition and proper bedding.

Do I need to bed these pads in?
Yes. Bedding is critical to build a stable transfer layer on the rotor and to achieve the friction and consistency the compound is designed for.

Will they make noise or dust?
All performance pads can produce some noise and dust depending on the vehicle and installation. Correct bedding and clean hardware help minimize both.

Fitment Notes

If you're serious about track performance, EBC RPX pads are engineered to give you maximum stopping power from the moment you hit the circuit—no warm-up required. These are purpose-built race pads that deliver consistent, predictable braking feel lap after lap, whether you're sprinting, hill climbing, or pushing hard on a circuit.

Built tough to last and designed to work flawlessly with your Alcon CAR97 Mono6 calipers. EBC RPX track pads deliver consistent, powerful braking for Alcon CAR97 Mono6 calipers from cold start to extreme heat. Engineered for sprint racing, hill climbs, and circuit driving, these pads maintain a friction level of 0.55 across temperatures from ambient to 1400°F—giving you full braking power instantly without warm-up time.

Built entirely in EBC's Bristol factory with stainless steel backing plates and Nucap® NRS® hook retention system to eliminate pad debond. The RP-X compound balances excellent pad longevity with moderate rotor wear, making it ideal for drivers who demand strong initial bite and responsive braking feel lap after lap. Track-focused design means these pads are not R90 road-legal in European markets—they're purpose-built for the circuit.
