EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads DP53040NDX for 2015+ Ford Mustang 2.3L Turbo GT

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: 189.7 x 85.3 x 15.6mm

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and selected track applications. Part number DP53040NDX combines strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance for the 2015 and newer Ford Mustang with the 2.3L turbocharged engine and GT Package. The compound is especially well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

Bluestuff NDX is engineered to provide confident braking from cold while maintaining consistent response during demanding use. Its design supports smooth release, reduced heat transfer, and rotor-friendly operation. The pad construction incorporates a chemical interlayer for a strong bond, deep V grooves to help capture dust and improve ventilation, and smooth friction surfaces that are not scored. EBC developed this material as a dual-purpose street and track pad, although performance can vary on older street-based caliper systems affected by pad size, slider drag, or caliper drag.

What's Included: One set of EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads for the specified application. Brake hardware and wear sensors are not included unless supplied with the applicable pad set. Always verify caliper, rotor, and vehicle fitment before installation, and follow proper bedding procedures for optimal performance.

Fitment: Designed for 2015 and newer Ford Mustang models equipped with the 2.3L Turbo engine and GT Package, using the corresponding front brake configuration. Confirm the vehicle's exact brake package before ordering.

Features:

• Cold Bite and Progressive Feel: Delivers strong initial friction and predictable pedal response for aggressive street driving and selected track use.
• Street and Track Compound: Bluestuff NDX is formulated for dual-purpose performance when matched with a suitable brake system and proper cooling.
• Strong Pad Bond: A chemical interlayer helps create a durable bond between the friction material and backing plate.
• Improved Ventilation: Deep V grooves help capture dust and promote airflow through the pad surface.
• Extended Service Life: Designed to provide a significantly longer service life than earlier EBC performance pad compounds.
• Low Heat Transfer: Helps limit heat migration into the caliper and related brake components during demanding use.
• Rotor-Friendly Friction Surface: Smooth, non-scored pad surfaces are designed to provide effective braking while being easy on rotors.
• Consistent Release: Supports clean pad release to help reduce drag and maintain predictable brake behavior.
