EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads DP51657NDX for 2005+ Toyota Tacoma 2WD/4WD

Bluestuff NDX is a high friction sport and race material that can be used for aggressive street driving and certain types of track use. The material has had much success on the track with quality aftermarket calipers (Multi piston systems with better release and cooling and larger rotors) and limited success with street based calipers where pad size and caliper drag can challenge any brake material. The biggest advantage of EBC Bluestuff NDX is their bite from cold and progressive brake feel and the ability to bring a car to a complete stop. This has led to the ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval of R90 which is now completed and certificates are being obtained (during July 2011). There are certain older street based caliper systems where even the new Bluestuff will have trouble handling the caliper and slider drag inherent in the systems but this scenario is exactly the same for our competitors. There is NO material that will be PERFECT on the track in all older street based caliper systems. Pad Dimensions: 132 x 75 x 18mm

• Synthetic Aramid Fibers Are Easy On Rotors Leaving Surface Smooth
• High temperature pads excellent for use in heavier vehicles
• Deep Grooves In High Volume Vee To Trap Dust And Dirt
• Huge lifetime almost double previous EBC products
• Factory Heat Scorched To Reduce Bed In Times

Upgrade the braking performance of your 2005 and newer Toyota Tacoma with EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads. Part number DP51657NDX is engineered for aggressive street driving and select track applications, providing strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and reliable stopping performance. This high-friction sport and race compound is especially well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

Bluestuff NDX uses synthetic aramid fibers that are designed to be gentle on rotors while maintaining a smooth braking surface. The compound is factory heat-scorched to help reduce bedding-in time, and its high-temperature formulation is suitable for heavier vehicles and demanding driving conditions. Deep grooves in the high-volume vee pattern help manage dust and debris, while the durable compound offers an extended service life compared with previous EBC pad materials.

These EBC brake pads are designed to deliver dependable performance from cold through high operating temperatures, although results may vary on older street-based caliper systems affected by caliper or slider drag. The friction material has been developed with progressive control and strong initial response in mind, making it a practical choice for drivers seeking more capable braking during spirited road use and limited track driving. For proper performance, install with compatible rotors and follow the manufacturer’s bedding procedure.
