Endless Brake Pads for Ferrari F50
Endless’s Brake Pads for Ferrari F50 are made for the car Ferrari built around a carbon-fiber tub and a 4.7-liter F130B V12 from 1995 to 1997, which stops on cross-drilled cast-iron Brembo discs and four-piston aluminum Brembo calipers, without ABS. Endless lists a single shape, RCP118, at the front and the rear. With no ABS, the driver modulates every hard stop, so pedal feel counts for as much as dust or noise. On an F50 that is driven rather than displayed, MX72 is the compound we would fit, moving to MX72 Plus for track days.
Features
- One Endless pad shape, RCP118, for the four-piston Brembo calipers front and rear
- Five street and street-to-track compounds, SSS, SSM Plus, MX72, MX72 Plus and CC-Rg
- Four racing options: an eight-compound Racing Group, W003, the S330 Group of S330 and TQB, and MA45B
- Each compound sold for the front axle, the rear axle or the whole car
Choosing a Compound
Because the F50 takes RCP118 at both ends, the Front and Rear Set is two sets of one compound at the price of the two axles. SSS and SSM Plus suit a car kept in a collection and taken out on fine days, MX72 suits brisk road driving from cold, and MX72 Plus suits an owner who takes the car to track days on street tires. CC-Rg and the racing options are for an F50 run hard at the circuit, which few owners will need. W007 and W008, which Endless prices for RCP118, are left off because Endless designs both for carbon ceramic rotors, and the F50 runs cast-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.
- MX72 Plus (street to circuit): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.39-0.47; rotor range 50-750C (122-1382F). Holds its braking force to higher temperatures than MX72, with stable control and a consistent pedal release. Endless aims it at cars on street tires that run on track.
- 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.
S330 Group
- 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.
- TQB: trail-braking style; friction 0.43-0.51; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). For mid to heavyweight cars that see extreme brake temperature, load and wear, and for cars with racing ABS; popular in GT2 and GT3 sprint racing.
Sold as their own options
- 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.
- 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.
Applications
- Ferrari F50: F130 | 1995-1997 | 4.7L F130B V12
Notes
- Each Front or Rear set of Brake Pads for Ferrari F50 covers both wheels on one axle
- Endless lists RCP118 at both axles, so the same compound can run front and rear
- For the road-going F50; the F50 GT race car is not covered
- For the factory Brembo calipers; an F50 converted to an aftermarket big brake kit takes the pads for those calipers
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do the Endless Brake Pads for Ferrari F50 fit the front and the rear? Yes. Endless lists its RCP118 shape at both axles of the F50, so these Brake Pads for Ferrari F50 let one compound run at all four wheels. A Front or Rear set covers the two wheels on that axle, and the Front and Rear Set is two sets in the same compound, priced as both axles bought separately.
- Which Endless compound suits an F50 driven on the road? MX72 is our pick for an F50 that gets driven. Endless gives it strong friction at low temperatures, minimal noise and dust and a better pedal feel than a typical semi-metallic pad, which counts on a car without ABS. SSS suits a car that mostly goes to shows, with exceptionally low dust, and SSM Plus suits a driver who likes braking that builds with pedal pressure.
- Is MX72 Plus or CC-Rg the better choice for an F50 on track? MX72 Plus, for most owners. Endless aims it at cars on street tires that run on track and rates it to 750C, or 1382F, with stable control as the heat builds. CC-Rg reaches 800C, or 1472F, with high bite even from cold, and suits an F50 that laps several times a season, though Endless notes it is noisy on the street.
- Can an F50 with aftermarket calipers use these pads? No. RCP118 is the shape Endless lists for the factory four-piston Brembo calipers on the F50. A car that has been converted to a different brake system needs the pads made for those calipers, so check what is fitted before ordering. A photo of the calipers sent to Bulletproof Automotive is enough for us to confirm which pads the car takes.
- Will SSS or SSM Plus keep the F50 wheels clean? Yes. Endless rates SSS for exceptionally low dust, low wear and long rotor life, and SSM Plus for low dust, low noise and long life, so either keeps the wheels of a road-driven F50 presentable between details. MX72 also keeps dust to a minimum, while CC-Rg and the racing compounds give up that refinement for heat capacity.

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.

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
