EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 1998-2005 Porsche 911 (996) 3.4 Carrera 2 with Cast Iron Rotors - DP51514NDX

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: 121 x 90 x 17mm

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and selected track applications on the 1998-2005 Porsche 911 (996) 3.4 Carrera 2 equipped with cast iron rotors. The EBC DP51514NDX pad compound delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and consistent stopping performance for drivers who require more capability than a typical street pad.

Bluestuff NDX works especially well with upgraded multi-piston calipers, improved brake cooling, and larger rotors. Its formulation is engineered to provide effective release, low heat transfer, and reduced rotor wear while maintaining dependable friction during demanding driving. The compound is also designed to help bring the vehicle to a complete stop from cold, making it suitable for a combination of street and track use. As with any performance brake pad, results may vary on older street-based caliper systems affected by slider drag, caliper drag, or limited pad area.
