EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads DP5872NDX for 1997-2001 Acura Integra Type R

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: 148 x 59 x 17mm

• Chemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond
• Deep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust/Improves Venting
• Huge Lifetime Almost Double Previous EBC Products
• 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 1997-2001 Acura Integra Type R. The DP5872NDX compound delivers strong initial bite from cold, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance when driven hard. Bluestuff NDX is best suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors, although performance can vary with older street-based caliper systems affected by pad size, slider drag, or caliper release limitations.

The EBC Bluestuff NDX friction material combines high friction performance with controlled release and low heat transfer. A chemical interlayer strengthens the bond between the friction material and backing plate, while deep V-shaped grooves help capture dust and improve ventilation. The pad surfaces are finished smooth rather than heavily scored, helping provide consistent contact with the rotor. Bluestuff NDX is also engineered to be rotor-friendly while offering extended service life compared with earlier EBC performance compounds.
