EBC DP8002/2RPX BMW Front RP-X Brake Pads
Step up your BMW braking performance with EBC Racing RP-X front brake pads, part number EBC-DP8002/2RPX. Engineered for uncompromising track and race use, these high performance brake pads deliver powerful stopping, rock-solid pedal feel and fade resistance lap after lap. Perfect for serious track day drivers and dedicated race cars, including applications using EBC Apollo-4 and Apollo-4R 100 Series calipers.
Why choose EBC RP-X for your BMW track car
- Ultra high performance race compound with a stable friction coefficient of around 0.55 up to and beyond 850°C
- Strong initial bite and superb modulation for confident, repeatable braking
- High friction from cold with no warm up required, ideal for sprint race and hill climb events
- Built for heavy or under-servoed vehicles where extra bite and torque are beneficial
At Nforcd we have run RP-X on our own builds and the results are outstanding. Customers love the immediate bite, consistent torque and confidence they give on circuit. If you want serious BMW track brake pads that can take the heat, EBC RP-X is a proven choice.
Track focused compound
RP-X is designed for peak on-track performance. Expect higher brake dust and some noise compared to milder compounds. Disc wear is comparable to many popular race pads, though greater than EBC RP-1 due to the higher friction and bite. If you prefer a less aggressive feel on lighter cars or on vehicles without ABS, EBC RP-1 may be a better match. For maximum attack and confidence on heavier or under-servoed setups, choose RP-X.
Road legality
RP-X is not R90 homologated for public road use in EU member states. Thanks to excellent cold performance, it can be used to drive to and from motorsport events where local laws permit.
