EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads DP5689NDX for 1992-1995 BMW M3 3.0 E36

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: 156 x 63 x 19mm

• Chemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond
• Deep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust/Improves Venting

• 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. Developed as a high-friction sport and race compound, these pads provide strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance when you need to bring your BMW M3 to a complete stop. The DP5689NDX compound is especially well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

A chemical interlayer helps create a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate, while deep V-grooves help capture dust and improve ventilation. Bluestuff NDX pads are engineered for low heat transfer, smooth rotor contact, and clean release characteristics. Their durable formulation offers a substantially longer service life than earlier EBC performance compounds, making them a practical choice for drivers who use their vehicle on both the street and track.

These EBC brake pads are compatible with the 1992-1995 BMW M3 3.0 E36 when matched to the appropriate front brake application. Brake performance can vary with caliper design, pad size, slider condition, rotor selection, cooling, and vehicle setup. Older street-based caliper systems may experience drag or heat limitations under demanding track use. Inspect the complete braking system and confirm application details before installation. The pads are supplied as a front axle set and are intended for automotive use.
