The R32 Skyline GT-R V-Spec with factory Brembo calipers is an icon of all-wheel-drive performance, but its stock front brake pads are not built for sustained hard track use or aggressive driving. The EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Front Brake Pads (DP81032RPX) are an ultra-high performance compound designed for dedicated track and race applications. With a strong, stable friction coefficient of 0.55 mu that performs consistently up to and beyond 850°C, these pads deliver powerful, immediate bite and excellent high-temperature stability, making them ideal for the demands of serious track days, sprint racing, or hill climbs where maximum stopping power is essential.
RP-X provides high friction right from cold, requiring no warmup period for full braking effect. This makes it particularly effective for short sessions or events where instant response matters. Compared to EBC’s RP-1, RP-X offers a 25% higher friction level with a much more positive initial bite, suiting the R32 GTR V-Spec’s weight and power. While it produces higher brake dust and noise than milder compounds, this is the expected trade-off for peak on-track performance. The pads maintain strong modulation and deliver reliable, fade-resistant braking even under the most demanding conditions.
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 V-Spec owners who prioritize maximum track performance. They transform the front braking system into a highly responsive, heat-resistant setup capable of handling repeated hard stops while supporting higher speeds and aggressive driving. For enthusiasts building a serious track weapon or race-prepared R32 GT-R with Brembo calipers, these RP-X pads are one of the most aggressive and capable brake upgrades available.
