EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 2003-2005 Porsche 911 996 3.6 Carrera 4S

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: 140 x 89 x 16mm

EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are engineered for aggressive street driving and select track applications on 2003-2005 Porsche 911 (996) 3.6 Carrera 4S models equipped with cast iron rotors. Part number EBC DP51515NDX uses a high-friction sport and race compound designed to provide strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and consistent stopping performance. The Bluestuff NDX compound is especially well suited to vehicles using quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

A chemical interlayer helps create a strong pad bond, while deep V-grooves assist with debris management and pad ventilation. The compound is designed for low heat transfer, smooth rotor contact, reliable release, and reduced rotor wear compared with more aggressive track-only materials. Its extended service life can provide nearly twice the longevity of previous EBC performance pad compounds, depending on driving conditions, vehicle setup, and brake system maintenance.

Although Bluestuff NDX is approved for use under the ECE R90 brake safety standard, no brake pad compound can deliver identical track performance across every older street-based caliper design. Caliper drag, slider resistance, pad size, and cooling capacity can affect results. Proper bedding, compatible rotors, and a well-maintained braking system are essential for achieving the intended performance. This EBC automotive brake pad set is supplied as one axle set for the specified Porsche application.
