R1 OPTIMUM OEp Brake Pads & Hardware Series: R1 OPTIMUM OEp Series Brake Pads are engineered for drivers who want dependable, OE-style braking characteristics for everyday street use. The series uses application-specific Original Equipment formulation materials selected around the braking requirements of the vehicle, helping deliver consistent pedal feel, responsive braking, low noise, reduced brake dust, and rotor-friendly wear characteristics. The OEp family uses application-matched friction formulations rather than one universal compound, while integrally molded friction material, scorched surfaces, noise-control shim technology, underlayers, positive-molded construction, and slotted or chamfered designs where applicable support smooth and durable braking performance. Each OEp Pads & Hardware Kit is configured with application-specific brake hardware for a complete pad service, while wear-sensor requirements vary by vehicle and are identified when applicable.
