Racingline RP700 Performance Rear Brake Pads – 310x22mm Disc
If you’ve ever pushed your car hard down a twisty road or out on a track day, you’ll know the feeling of the brake pedal going soft and the stopping power fading away. The Racingline RP700 Performance Rear Brake Pads are designed to solve exactly that. They’re a direct replacement for your factory rear pads, using your standard brake hardware, but with a far higher resistance to heat and fade.
Developed over more than a year of road and track testing, the RP700 compound has been tuned to give strong cold bite alongside excellent high-temperature performance. The result is a pad that works just as well on the morning commute as it does on a spirited B-road blast or a Sunday at the circuit.
What the RP700 Compound Delivers
The RP700 pads use a medium-hardness aramid fibre compound. In plain terms, aramid is a tough heat-resistant fibre (the same family of materials used in motorsport safety gear) that helps the pad cope with the extreme temperatures generated under hard braking. This keeps friction levels consistent whether the pads are cold or glowing hot.
- Near-zero brake fade under sustained high-temperature use
- No warm-up period required – bites cleanly from cold
- Progressive pedal feel with sharp, predictable response
- Uses your car’s existing brake hardware – straightforward direct fit
- ECE R90 approved for road-legal use across the UK and Europe
Built for Real-World Driving
Unlike full race pads, which often need to be hot before they work properly, the RP700 has been developed with daily usability in mind. You get the confidence of track-capable braking without the noise, dust extremes or cold-bite issues that come with motorsport-only compounds. It’s a genuine all-rounder for fast road use and occasional track days.
ECE R90 Approval – Why It Matters
ECE R90 is the European standard that certifies a replacement brake pad performs to the same safety level as the original equipment. It’s a legal requirement in most countries, yet many aftermarket pads skip it. The RP700 carries full ECE R90 certification, so you know the pads have been independently tested and approved for road use.
Choosing the Right Rear Pad
This listing covers the rear pads to suit the 310x22mm ventilated rear disc setup found on a range of popular VW Group performance models. Racingline offers two versions to match your handbrake type:
- VWR670007 – for vehicles with an electronic handbrake
- VWR670008 – for vehicles with a manual (cable) handbrake
It is essential to select the correct option for your vehicle. The two pads are not interchangeable, and fitting the wrong type can prevent the caliper from operating correctly.
Fitment
These rear pads are designed for popular VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda models running the 310x22mm rear brake disc setup. Please use the site’s vehicle lookup to confirm fitment for your exact car, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for the full application list before ordering.
As an authorised UK dealer for Racingline Performance, we supply the full range of genuine Racingline parts. The RP700 is a sensible, well-engineered upgrade for anyone who wants more from their factory brakes without changing the discs or calipers – giving you stronger, more consistent stopping power when you actually need it.
