Part number DP82331RPX delivers a 25 percent higher friction coefficient than the EBC RP-1 compound across its operating temperature range, along with a more positive initial bite. This combination makes RP-X well suited for heavy vehicles and applications with limited brake assistance, including demanding track use where consistent braking response is essential.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to perform at the highest race temperatures, RP-X provides excellent pedal feel and strong, repeatable braking performance. The compound uses EBC Racing’s Nucap NRS hook pad retention system and stainless steel back plates for secure construction under severe braking conditions. Compared with RP-2, RP-X offers improved pedal feel, while its friction characteristics provide a more aggressive response than RP-1. For light-to-medium-weight vehicles, vehicles without EBC Big Brake Kits, or cars without ABS, EBC RP-1 may offer a less forceful alternative.\u003cbr\u003eBecause RP-X is optimized for maximum track performance, increased brake dust and brake noise should be expected. Disc wear is comparable to many other popular track and race compounds but is notably higher than EBC RP-1. The pads are designed to be kind to brake discs and rotors relative to their performance level, while delivering the control required for repeated high-temperature braking. Verify vehicle configuration and brake system compatibility before installation. Applications include the 2018-2020 BMW M5 and 2020 BMW M8, including M8 Gran Coupe models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePeak on-track and race performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e25 percent higher friction coefficient than RP-1\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMore positive initial bite than RP-1\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuitable for heavy or under-servoed vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEngineered for the highest race temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExcellent pedal feel compared with RP-2\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNucap NRS hook pad retention system\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStainless steel back plates\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eKind to brake discs and rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigher brake dust and noise expected\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigher disc wear than EBC RP-1\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFits select 2018-2020 BMW M5 and 2020 BMW M8 applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\n2018 BMW M5 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2019 BMW M5 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2019 BMW M5 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 BMW M5 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 BMW M5 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 BMW M5 Edition 35 Years\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 BMW M8 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 BMW M8 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2021 BMW M5 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2021 BMW M5 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2021 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2021 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2022 BMW M5 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2022 BMW M5 CS\u003cbr\u003e\n2022 BMW M8 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2022 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2023 BMW M5 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2023 BMW M8 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2023 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2024 BMW M8 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2024 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2025 BMW M8 Competition\u003cbr\u003e\n2025 BMW M8 Gran Coupe Competition","brand":"EBC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47206155157703,"sku":"ebcDP82331RPX","price":530.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/2277\/5751\/files\/ffa7cda688bfaafe4466c9b10c3eb901_4a55f89c-7fd6-4164-bb86-a8e812d6167d.png?v=1789688323","url":"https:\/\/mainstreeteshop.com\/products\/ebc-racing-rp-x-front-brake-pads-dp82331rpx-for-2018-bmw-m5-and-m8","provider":"MAIN STREET ESHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
