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.\nPad Dimensions: 151 x 57 x 16mm\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust\/Improves Venting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHuge Lifetime Almost Double Previous EBC Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurfaces Are Left Smooth And Not Scored\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorlds First Street And True Track Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow Heat Transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy On Rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreat Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpgrade your 1996-1998 BMW Z3 with EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads, part number DP5914NDX. Designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications, Bluestuff NDX delivers strong cold bite, progressive brake feel, and dependable stopping performance. This high-friction sport and race compound is especially well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers, multi-piston systems, improved cooling, and larger rotors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EBC Bluestuff NDX compound is engineered to provide excellent release characteristics while helping limit heat transfer and rotor wear. A chemical interlayer creates a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate, while deep V grooves help capture dust and promote pad ventilation. The smooth, unscored friction surfaces are designed to provide consistent contact and long service life, with durability that can significantly exceed earlier EBC performance pad compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Bluestuff NDX is capable of street and track use, braking-system condition and caliper design remain important factors in overall performance. Older street-based calipers with significant slider or caliper drag may limit results under demanding track conditions. For best performance, inspect the calipers, sliders, rotors, and brake fluid before installation. These EBC front pads are intended for the specified BMW Z3 application and provide a practical performance upgrade for drivers seeking stronger braking response without sacrificing everyday usability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Product Specifications \u0026amp; Technical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: DP5914NDX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Front brake pad set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Automotive performance braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake Compound: Bluestuff NDX high-friction sport and race material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriving Use: Aggressive street driving and select track applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Certification: ECE R90 approved compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad Quantity: One vehicle application set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFront Bluestuff NDX brake pad set\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment: Designed for the 1996-1998 BMW Z3 front braking system.
