EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 1996–2000 Lotus Esprit Turbo 2.0 Turbo GT3 – DP51140NDX

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: 110 x 69 x 14mm

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are high-friction sport and race pads designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications. Engineered for the 1996–2000 Lotus Esprit Turbo 2.0 Turbo GT3, these EBC pads provide strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance when paired with properly maintained braking systems.

The Bluestuff NDX compound performs especially well with quality aftermarket calipers, multi-piston systems, improved cooling, and larger rotors. Its low heat transfer, controlled release, and rotor-friendly formulation help support consistent braking during demanding use. As with any high-performance pad, results can vary on older street-based caliper systems affected by slider drag, caliper drag, limited pad area, or restricted cooling.

4x Key Features & Performance Benefits:
