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.\nPad Dimensions: 121 x 37 x 16mm\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust\/Improves Venting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHuge Lifetime Almost Double Previous EBC Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurfaces Are Left Smooth And Not Scored\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorlds First Street And True Track Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow Heat Transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy On Rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreat Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads are designed for aggressive street driving and selected track applications where strong initial bite, reliable stopping power, and progressive pedal feel are essential. Part number DP51160NDX uses EBC’s high-friction Bluestuff NDX compound to provide effective braking from cold while maintaining consistent performance as temperatures rise. These pads are intended for performance-oriented vehicles equipped with upgraded braking systems, including multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluestuff NDX compound features a chemical interlayer that creates a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate. Deep V-grooves help capture dust and improve venting, while the smooth, non-scored friction surfaces promote controlled rotor contact. The material is engineered for long service life, low heat transfer, excellent release, and reduced rotor wear compared with more aggressive track-focused compounds. EBC Bluestuff NDX pads are also designed to meet ECE R90 brake safety requirements where applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese rear brake pads are engineered for the 2003-2004 Cadillac XLR with the 4.6L engine. Performance may vary on older street-based caliper systems affected by caliper or slider drag; no friction material can eliminate limitations caused by the original braking hardware. For best results, inspect the calipers, sliders, rotors, and brake fluid before installation and properly bed the pads according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Product Specifications and Technical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrand: EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart Number: DP51160NDX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Rear performance brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrake Compound: Bluestuff NDX high-friction material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplication: Aggressive street driving and selected track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle Fitment: 2003-2004 Cadillac XLR 4.6L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePad Quantity: One vehicle set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety Certification: Designed for ECE R90 approval where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRear EBC Bluestuff NDX brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong Cold Bite: Delivers responsive braking performance from cold with a progressive pedal feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreet and Track Capability: Designed for aggressive street driving and selected track applications with upgraded brake systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced Pad Bond: A chemical interlayer helps provide a strong, durable bond between the friction material and backing plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved Venting and Long Life: Deep V-grooves support dust management and heat release, while the compound is engineered for extended service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Heat Transfer: Helps reduce heat migration through the brake system during demanding use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor Friendly: Smooth friction surfaces are designed to provide controlled contact and minimize unnecessary rotor wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent Release: Formulated to support clean pad release and consistent brake operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliable Stopping Power: Developed to bring the vehicle to a complete stop with predictable performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstyle\u003etable.productattributes, .productattributes td { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 2px; text-align: left; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"productattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAir Freight Prohibited: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot Carb Approved: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLtl Freight Required: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProp 65: Y\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePart Type: automotive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEpa: N\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCarb Acknowledgement Required: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegular Stock: t\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eUnits Per Sku: 1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"EBC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67651087302908,"sku":"DP51160NDX","price":150.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/6518\/3740\/files\/fbbafb03ea68de7b817545654c1f4136L_f249ffd2-e9a8-4bf3-8658-1ffab1fbfb16.jpg?v=1791215160","url":"https:\/\/diycustoms.store\/products\/ebc-bluestuff-ndx-rear-brake-pads-dp51160ndx-for-2003-2004-cadillac-xlr-4-6l","provider":"diycustoms.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
