The Stagea 260RS C34 is a serious performance wagon powered by the formidable RB26DETT, but its factory rear brake pads are tuned for comfort and quickly lose effectiveness under the heat and repeated hard stops of spirited driving or track use. The EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Rear Brake Pads (DP81537RPX) are an ultra-aggressive compound developed specifically 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, fade-resistant stopping power and a very positive initial bite, making them ideal for the demands of serious track days, sprint racing, or aggressive road driving on the RB26DETT-powered Stagea.

RP-X provides high friction right from cold, requiring no warmup period for full braking effect. Compared to EBC’s RP-1, RP-X offers a 25% higher friction level with a much more aggressive bite, making it well-suited for the heavier, high-power character of the Stagea 260RS. While it produces higher brake dust and noise than milder compounds, this is the expected trade-off for maximum on-track performance and immediate response. The pads maintain strong modulation and deliver reliable, heat-resistant braking even under the most demanding conditions.

At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply these genuine EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Rear Brake Pads as a premium upgrade for Stagea 260RS owners who prioritize outright track performance. They transform the rear 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 Stagea 260RS, these RP-X pads are one of the most aggressive and capable brake upgrades available.
