This guide is for track day enthusiasts and competition drivers of the Ford Fiesta 1.6 ST180 / ST200 (2013-2017) seeking superior braking performance. The key benefit is a high friction, flat torque curve from cold, offering immediate stopping power ideal for sprint racing or under-servo'd vehicles. A potential caveat is that the extreme performance focus may lead to increased rotor wear compared to street pads.

While they offer high performance, the RP-X compound is primarily designed for track use. They may produce more noise and dust than street-oriented pads and are best reserved for performance driving occasions.
RP-X offers a higher friction level from cold and is generally considered more aggressive, making it ideal for short sprints or under-servo'd cars. RP-1 offers a wider operating temperature range and is often preferred for longer endurance races where consistent mid-range temperatures are key.
NRS is a patented technology where tiny hooks are stamped into the steel backing plate. The friction material is then molded into and around these hooks, creating a mechanical bond that prevents the pad material from separating from the backing plate under extreme stress.
These RP-X pads (MPN: DP82149RPX) are specifically designed to fit the front brakes of the Ford Fiesta 1.6 ST180 and ST200 models from 2013-2017. Always double-check compatibility for your exact vehicle year and trim.
For track use, it's recommended to inspect pad thickness before and after each track session. For occasional spirited driving, check them every few thousand miles or during regular brake service.
The EBC RP-X compound is rated for excellent fade resistance up to extreme temperatures of 850°C (1562°F).
Some noise is normal with performance pads. Ensure proper bedding-in was completed. Check for foreign debris in the caliper or rotor. If persistent and excessive, consult a professional mechanic.
Verify the bedding-in procedure was followed correctly. Check for brake fluid leaks or contamination. Ensure the pads are correctly seated in the caliper.
This is highly unlikely due to the NRS system. If suspected, cease use immediately and have the braking system inspected by a qualified technician.
Compatibility: These RP-X pads (MPN: DP82149RPX) are specifically designed for the front brakes of the Ford Fiesta 1.6 ST180 and ST200 models produced between 2013 and 2017.
Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic experienced with performance brake systems. Ensure the caliper is clean and free of debris. Refer to the vehicle's service manual for detailed caliper disassembly and reassembly procedures.
Bedding-In Procedure: Proper bedding-in is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, followed by a cooling period. Consult the EBC Brakes documentation or your installer for the specific recommended bedding-in procedure for the RP-X compound.
Care: Regularly inspect pads for wear and ensure brake fluid is within its service life and at the correct level. Keep caliper hardware clean. Due to their track-focused nature, occasional cleaning of the brake system may be beneficial.
