The R32 Skyline GTST with Sumitomo 4-piston calipers offers strong turbo performance from the RB20DET, but its factory rear brake pads are tuned for comfort and fade quickly during spirited driving or track sessions. The EBC Racing RP-1 Track and Race Rear Brake Pads (P8826RP1) are an ultra-high performance upgrade engineered specifically for demanding applications. With a stable friction coefficient of 0.45 mu that holds strong up to and beyond 750°C, these pads deliver consistent stopping power and excellent modulation even under repeated heavy braking, giving drivers precise control and confidence during high-speed corners or aggressive stops.
RP-1 offers a usable cold friction of 0.35 mu below 100°C, making it suitable for non-European markets where Reg 90 homologation is not required. Their standout characteristic is exceptionally low disc wear compared to most competitor race compounds, helping preserve your rotors while maintaining strong performance. The progressive pedal feel provides unrivalled modulation without the snatchy sensation or excessive noise often associated with aggressive track pads. At 25% lower friction than EBC’s RP-X compound, RP-1 is particularly well-suited for the R32 GTST with Sumitomo calipers, striking an ideal balance between stopping power and everyday usability.
At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply these genuine EBC Racing RP-1 Track and Race Rear Brake Pads as a premium braking upgrade for R32 GTST owners seeking track-ready performance with real-world drivability. They transform your rear braking system into a more capable and consistent setup that supports higher speeds and harder driving while offering outstanding pad life and rotor preservation. For enthusiasts serious about track days, spirited canyon runs, or high-performance street use on their RB20DET-powered R32 GTST with Sumitomo calipers, these RP-1 pads are one of the most effective and well-balanced brake upgrades available.
