Endless Brake Pads for DC2 Acura Integra GS-R
Endless’s Brake Pads for DC2 Acura Integra GS-R fit the hatchback Acura sold with the 1.8-liter B18C1 VTEC engine, for the 1997 to 2001 model years Endless lists. Endless uses EP307 at the front and EP210 at the rear, while the Type R of the same years takes other shapes at both ends, so the trim matters. On this GS-R the choice spans SSS, a long-life, low-dust road pad, through to the W003 and S330 circuit materials. For a GS-R that sees autocross or the odd track day, MX72 is the compound we would fit.
Features
- Endless pad shapes EP307 front and EP210 rear, listed for the 1997 to 2001 GS-R hatchback
- Four street and street-to-track compounds: SSS, SSM Plus, MX72 and CC-Rg
- Eleven racing compounds sold as three options: Racing Group, W003 Group and MA45B
- SSM Plus and MX72 front and rear sets at Endless combo-set prices
- MA45B endurance compound offered for the rear axle only
Choosing a Compound
On a GS-R the street choice mostly comes down to how much dust and noise the owner will live with. SSS and SSM Plus keep the wheels clean on an Integra used for commuting and weekend drives. MX72 is the dual-duty pick for back roads, autocross and an occasional track day, while CC-Rg suits a car that laps regularly and can put up with more noise around town. The racing compounds are for a car built for competition, and MA45B comes for the rear only here. W007 and W008, which Endless prices for EP307 and EP210, are left off because Endless designs both for carbon ceramic rotors, and the GS-R runs iron rotors.
Every figure below is Endless’s own. Friction is the compound’s average friction coefficient, so a higher number gives more bite for the same pedal pressure. The rotor range is the band of rotor temperatures Endless designs the compound to work in, so choose by the temperatures your car will see.
Street and street-to-track compounds
- SSS (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 0-480C (32-896F). Low wear, long rotor life, a strong initial response and exceptionally low dust, built for road and highway driving.
- SSM Plus (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.33-0.40; rotor range 0-550C (32-1022F). Low dust, low noise and long life. Braking builds with pedal pressure rather than a sharp first bite, for drivers who want clean wheels and a quiet car.
- MX72 (street to light track): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.37-0.47; rotor range 50-700C (122-1292F). Minimal noise and dust, strong friction at low temperatures, reduced rotor wear and a better pedal feel than a typical semi-metallic pad. Endless’s dual-duty compound for a road car that sees the occasional track day.
- CC-Rg (track day, street capable): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 50-800C (122-1472F). High initial bite across a wide temperature range, even when cold, and modulation that works with the factory ABS under hard use. Endless notes it is noisy on the street; it is the step up from MX72 Plus for regular track days.
Racing compounds
Each option below is one choice in the Choose Compound menu. For a group, name your compound in the order notes and Bulletproof Automotive confirms it with your order. Every racing compound needs Endless’s bedding procedure: at 70 to 80 percent of normal pedal effort, bring the rotors gradually to 400C (752F), then let them cool below 150C (302F) before hard use.
Racing Group
- ME22: dual braking style; friction 0.33-0.38; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). Developed from ME20 with lower friction for control, for light to mid-weight cars or heavier cars on slower circuits. Endless rates it for street and track.
- ME20: trail-braking style; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). High, stable friction at high temperature with low wear, developed for touring cars and rally. Works front or rear, with stock or racing ABS.
- N35S: trail-braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Quick, sharp and responsive, with stable modulation under high temperature and load. Endless’s flagship rally compound, also run in FIA GT, and its suggested starting point for drivers new to Endless racing pads.
- N05U: trail-braking style; friction 0.46-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). More bite than N35S, popular in sprint-focused Porsche Cup cars.
- N05S: trail-braking style; friction 0.45-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Immediate high friction with little pedal effort, used in Japanese rally cars without brake boosters and in European and Australian sprint racing.
- N30C: friction 0.50-0.60; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). High initial bite, gentle on rotors and low wear. A rally compound for cars without a brake booster.
- S55G: Endless publishes no figures. It suits lightweight and front-wheel-drive cars, and the rear of front-wheel-drive cars, with high controllability.
- PC35: Endless publishes no figures. More bite than N35S with high braking force and a stable pedal; Endless’s base pad for rally raid.
W003 Group
- W003: trail-braking style; friction 0.40-0.45. Similar in character to N35S with better wear, tough and stable at high temperature with a linear torque curve; run in rally, touring cars, ALMS and PWC. Circuit only: Endless does not recommend it for the street and notes high rotor wear when cold.
- S330: trail-braking style; friction 0.60-0.70; rotor range 300-850C (572-1562F). High friction for sprint racing, with good control at high levels and without accelerating rotor wear; run in Super GT, stock cars and GT2 and GT3 sprint racing.
Sold as its own option
- MA45B: standard braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Endless’s endurance compound: low friction but stable for a whole race, with excellent heat resistance and wear. Most Nurburgring and Spa 24 Hours entrants run it. Offered for the rear axle only on this car.
Applications
- Acura Integra GS-R: DC2 | 1997-2001 | 1.8L B18C1
Notes
- Each Front or Rear set of Brake Pads for DC2 GS-R hatchbacks covers both wheels on one axle
- In SSM Plus and MX72, the Front and Rear Set is an Endless combo set, priced below the two axles bought separately
- Not for the DC2 Integra Type R, which takes Endless EP270 front and EP312 rear pads
- Endless lists these shapes for the GS-R hatchback; for a GS-R sedan or a 1994 to 1996 car, ask Bulletproof Automotive to confirm the shape before ordering
- For the factory calipers. A GS-R converted to an Endless big brake kit takes the pads for those calipers; see the Endless brake kits for the DC2 Integra.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do the Endless Brake Pads for DC2 GS-R models also fit the Integra Type R? No. The Endless Brake Pads for DC2 GS-R hatchbacks use EP307 front and EP210 rear, while Endless lists EP270 front and EP312 rear for the Type R of the same years. The two trims share a chassis code but take different pad shapes at both ends, so confirm the trim before ordering.
- Which Endless compound suits a GS-R at autocross and track days? MX72 is the one we would fit. It works from 50C, or 122F, so it bites on the first autocross run, and holds up to 700C, or 1292F, for an occasional track day. An Integra on the circuit every month is better served by CC-Rg, rated to 800C, or 1472F, though Endless warns it is noisy on the street.
- Will Endless pads keep the wheels of a daily driven Integra clean? Yes, in SSS and SSM Plus. Endless rates SSS for exceptionally low dust, low wear and long rotor life, and SSM Plus for low dust, low noise and long life. MX72 keeps dust and noise to a minimum as well. Of the street compounds, only CC-Rg carries a noise warning from Endless.
- Is the Front and Rear Set cheaper than buying the two axles separately? Yes, in SSM Plus and MX72, where Endless sells EP307 and EP210 together as a combo set priced below a front set plus a rear set. In SSS, CC-Rg and the Racing Group and W003 Group options, the Front and Rear Set costs the same as both axles bought on their own.
- What about a GS-R sedan or a 1994 to 1996 GS-R? Endless does not list either for these shapes. Its rows cover the 1.8-liter GS-R hatchback from 1997 to 2001 only. Owners of a sedan or an earlier hatchback can send Bulletproof Automotive the caliper details or a photo of the brakes, and we will confirm the right Endless shape before an order is placed.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at
