EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads DP51789NDX for 2007–2014 Mini Cooper S Hardtop R56

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 71 x 17mm

• Deep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust/Improves Venting
• Huge Lifetime Almost Double Previous EBC Products
• Chemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond
• Surfaces Are Left Smooth And Not Scored
• Worlds First Street And True Track Pad
• Low Heat Transfer
• Easy On Rotors
• Great Release

EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and selected track applications on the 2007–2014 Mini Cooper S Hardtop (R56) with the 1.6L turbocharged engine. Part number DP51789NDX uses a high-friction compound that delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance from the first brake application. These pads are especially well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

Bluestuff NDX is engineered to balance street usability with true track capability. Deep V grooves help capture dust and improve venting, while the chemical interlayer supports a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate. Smooth, unscored pad surfaces are designed to be easy on rotors, and the compound offers low heat transfer and excellent release characteristics. EBC developed Bluestuff NDX for drivers who need more performance than a conventional street pad can provide, while retaining the cold response required for everyday driving.
