EBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads DP51451NDX for 2008-2010 BMW M3 E90 4.0L

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: 139 x 68 x 16mm

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2008-2010 BMW M3 E90 with the 4.0L engine. Part number DP51451NDX uses a high-friction compound engineered to provide strong initial bite from cold, progressive pedal feel, and consistent stopping performance. These pads are especially well suited to vehicles equipped with upgraded multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

Bluestuff NDX combines street-friendly cold performance with track-focused friction characteristics. The compound is designed to release cleanly, transfer less heat into the caliper, and remain easy on rotors while supporting repeated hard braking. Its smooth friction surface helps promote consistent contact, while deep V grooves assist with dust removal and ventilation. EBC’s chemical interlayer construction creates a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate for added durability.
