EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads DP5779NDX for 1983-1985 BMW 318 1.8L E30

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: 95 x 52 x 16mm

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 1983-1985 BMW 318 1.8L E30. Part number DP5779NDX uses a high-friction sport and race compound that delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance. These pads are particularly well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger brake rotors.

Performance Benefits: Bluestuff NDX provides responsive braking from cold while maintaining controlled release during demanding use. Its low heat transfer characteristics help reduce heat migration into the caliper, while the rotor-friendly formulation helps limit unnecessary rotor wear. Deep V-grooves promote ventilation and help clear dust and debris from the friction surface. A chemical interlayer supports a strong pad bond and contributes to extended service life, with an expected lifespan significantly longer than previous EBC compounds under comparable conditions.
