EBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads DP51691NDX for 2003-2012 Mazda RX-8

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: 107 x 44 x 14mm

• 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

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2003-2012 Mazda RX-8 with standard suspension. This high-friction compound delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance while maintaining smooth rotor contact and controlled release.

Engineered for use with performance brake systems, Bluestuff NDX performs especially well with quality aftermarket calipers, multi-piston configurations, improved cooling, and larger rotors. Its low heat transfer helps manage brake temperatures, while the formulation is designed to provide long service life and be gentle on rotors. As with any performance pad, results can vary on older street-based calipers where slider drag, caliper drag, limited pad area, and restricted cooling may affect track performance.
