EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS - DP52274NDX

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: 137.8 x 77.9 x 15mm

• Chemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond
• Deep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust/Improves Venting
• Huge Lifetime Almost Double Previous EBC Products
• Surfaces Are Left Smooth And Not Scored
• Worlds First Street And True Track Pad
• Low Heat Transfer
• Easy On Rotors
• Great Release

EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS. This high-friction sport and race compound delivers strong bite from cold, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance when demanding braking control is required. The DP52274NDX pad set is particularly well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

Bluestuff NDX uses a chemical interlayer to create a strong pad bond while maintaining low heat transfer and excellent release characteristics. Deep V grooves help capture dust and improve venting, while the smooth, unscored friction surfaces are designed to be easier on rotors. The compound also offers an extended service life compared with earlier EBC performance materials. EBC Bluestuff NDX is street-legal where applicable and has been developed to meet demanding brake safety and performance requirements.

These front pads are engineered for performance-focused driving, but brake system compatibility remains important. Older street-based calipers may experience drag from sliders or limited pad area, which can affect track performance with any high-performance friction material. Verify caliper, rotor, and application compatibility before installation. Each set is supplied for one vehicle application and is intended for the front axle of the specified Ford Focus RS.
