Description
Front braking with EBC RP-X Racing Front Brake Pads for the 2016-2018 BMW M2 3.0L provides consistent, high-temperature stopping performance with a stable friction coefficient for repeatable lap-to-lap reliability.
Engineered by EBC for track and race environments, the RP-X compound is an ultra-high performance pad material intended for vehicles driven hard on track and for dedicated race cars. The compound maintains a very stable friction coefficient of 0.55 µ at temperatures up to and beyond 850 °C, delivering predictable pedal feel and braking response under extreme thermal loads.
Key technical features and why they matter
- Ultra-high performance RP-X compound — Designed specifically for sustained track use; provides consistent friction levels during prolonged high-speed braking sessions.
- Stable 0.55 µ friction coefficient to >850 °C — Maintains predictable stopping power and reduced brake fade as pad temperature rises, improving repeatability and driver confidence.
- Track and race-focused design — Formulation and construction optimized for aggressive braking cycles encountered in circuit driving and dedicated race applications.
- EBC heritage — Manufactured by EBC, a brand known for motorsport-grade braking products and compound development targeted at high-performance applications.
- Application-specific fit — Supplied as front brake pads tailored for the BMW M2 (2016–2018) 3.0L to align with the vehicle’s braking system and restore intended pad contact and performance.
These pads are suited to drivers and teams prioritizing thermal stability and consistent friction over extended sessions. Use in track-day, competition, or dedicated race-car programs where predictable high-temperature performance is required.
Recommended use: Track and racing; intended for vehicles driven aggressively where pad temperature regularly reaches elevated levels.
