• RP-X also boasts a flat friction response and is capable of operating at temperatures of up to 8500C without brake fade, yet has a slightly higher average friction of 0.55mu. RP-Xs higher friction level provides a stronger initial bite and more power under braking, all for a reduced pedal effort compared to RP-1.
• If youve experienced some of the leading track/race compounds from EBCs competitors (such as Pagid RS29, Ferodo DS 1.11 or Endless ME20) then RP-X will feel very similar in its response characteristic. The higher friction level and higher initial bite mean RP-X is well suited to under-served vehicles (for example: R35 Nissan GT-R and Porsche GT models).
• On these inherently under-served vehicles the brake system is naturally more progressive, therefore a more aggressive pad material such as RP-X is preferable to keep pedal travel within the optimum displacement range. However, the extra power served up by RP-X isnt at the expense of exceptional feel during the braking phase, with the material still allowing the driver to modulate the brake pedal with ease and explore the limits in each and every braking zone.
• Similarly, dedicated track/race cars that employ aftermarket master cylinders, sway bars and bias adjusters would also be well suited to running RP-X, since these components allow the driver to fine tune the brake bias to permit the use of a naturally more aggressive pad material.
