EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 2018+ Audi S4 and 2017+ Audi S5, Part Number DP52277NDX

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: 194.3 x 73.9 x 15.8mm

EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are high-friction performance pads designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications. Engineered for the 2018 and newer Audi S4 and 2017 and newer Audi S5, these pads deliver strong initial bite from cold, progressive brake pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance. The Bluestuff NDX compound is intended for vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers, larger rotors, and improved cooling, where consistent release and heat management are especially important.

The EBC Bluestuff NDX compound offers low heat transfer, smooth rotor contact, and excellent release characteristics to support confident braking during demanding use. Deep V grooves help capture dust and improve pad ventilation, while a chemical interlayer strengthens the bond between the friction material and backing plate. The pad surfaces are left smooth rather than scored, helping promote even contact and reduced rotor wear. Bluestuff NDX is also approved to the ECE R90 brake safety standard, supporting its suitability for road use in applicable markets.
