The R32 Skyline GT-R Non V-Spec with standard (non-Brembo) brakes is a high-performance icon, but its factory front pads are not built to withstand the heat and repeated hard stops of serious track or spirited driving. The EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Front Brake Pads (DP81200RPX) are an ultra-aggressive compound designed for dedicated track and race use. With a strong, stable friction coefficient of 0.55 mu that performs consistently up to and beyond 850°C, these pads deliver powerful, fade-resistant stopping power and a very positive initial bite, making them ideal for the heavier R32 GT-R when pushing limits on circuit or during aggressive road driving.
RP-X provides excellent friction right from cold, eliminating warmup time and suiting sprint races, hill climbs, or short track sessions. Compared to EBC’s RP-1, RP-X offers a 25% higher friction level with a much more aggressive bite, making it better suited for heavier or under-servoed vehicles like the Non V-Spec R32. While it produces higher brake dust and noise than milder compounds, this is the expected trade-off for maximum on-track performance.
At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply these genuine EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Front Brake Pads as a premium upgrade for R32 GTR Non V-Spec owners seeking outright track performance. They transform the front braking system into a highly responsive, heat-resistant setup capable of handling repeated hard stops at high speeds while supporting serious track and competition use. For enthusiasts building a dedicated track weapon or high-performance R32 GT-R with standard brakes, these RP-X pads are one of the most aggressive and capable brake upgrades available.
