EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 2001-2003 Porsche 911 (996) 3.6L Twin Turbo GT2 with Cast Iron Rotors - DP51516NDX

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: 190.2 x 101.8 x 16.3mm

EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications. Engineered for the 2001-2003 Porsche 911 (996) 3.6L Twin Turbo GT2 equipped with cast iron rotors, these pads deliver strong initial bite from cold, progressive pedal feel, and reliable stopping performance. The Bluestuff NDX compound is especially well suited to vehicles using quality aftermarket calipers, multi-piston systems, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

The EBC Bluestuff NDX compound provides a useful balance of street manners and track capability. Low heat transfer helps reduce thermal stress on related brake components, while excellent release characteristics can support smoother braking control. The pad surface is left smooth rather than scored, helping maintain consistent contact with the rotor. As with any high-friction pad, results can vary according to caliper condition, pad size, cooling, rotor type, and the amount of caliper or slider drag present in the vehicle.

Each pad incorporates a chemical interlayer to promote a strong pad bond, along with deep V-grooves that help capture dust and improve ventilation. The material is designed for extended service life compared with earlier EBC compounds while remaining easy on rotors. EBC Bluestuff NDX is also associated with ECE R90 brake safety approval for applicable applications. This set is intended for the front axle and is supplied as one vehicle application set.
