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: 123 x 61.2 x 16.5mm\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 engineered for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2015 and newer Volkswagen GTI and Golf R (Mk7). The Bluestuff NDX compound delivers strong initial bite from cold, progressive pedal feel, and reliable stopping performance as temperatures increase. It is designed to provide a practical balance between street usability and track capability, particularly when paired with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EBC DP52153NDX pad features a chemical interlayer for a strong pad bond, deep V-grooves that help capture dust and improve ventilation, and a smooth friction surface intended to be easy on rotors. Low heat transfer helps reduce thermal stress on surrounding components, while the compound's release characteristics support consistent braking control. Bluestuff NDX has also been developed to meet applicable ECE R90 brake safety requirements, supporting dependable performance for road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any high-performance brake pad, results can vary according to caliper design, pad size, rotor condition, vehicle setup, and brake cooling. Older street-based caliper systems may experience drag that limits track performance regardless of pad material. For best results, install the pads with properly serviced calipers and rotors, follow the manufacturer's bedding procedure, and inspect the complete braking system before performance driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Product Specifications and Technical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: DP52153NDX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Line: Bluestuff NDX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Rear disc brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Fitment: 2015+ Volkswagen GTI and Golf R, Mk7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: Aggressive street driving and select track applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction Material: High-friction sport and race compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Certification: ECE R90 approved material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOne set of EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold Bite and Progressive Feel: Delivers strong initial braking response from cold with controlled pedal modulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreet and Track Capability: Designed for aggressive street driving and select track use when matched with a suitable brake system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical Interlayer Bond: Helps create a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep V-Grooves: Captures dust and supports improved pad ventilation during repeated braking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Service Life: Bluestuff NDX is engineered for extended pad life compared with earlier EBC performance compounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor Friendly Surface: Smooth friction surfaces help minimize unnecessary rotor scoring and wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Heat Transfer: Helps limit heat migration from the pad into the caliper and related components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent Release: Supports clean pad release for predictable control and reduced drag.\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":67646868979964,"sku":"DP52153NDX","price":150.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/6518\/3740\/files\/fbbafb03ea68de7b817545654c1f4136L_066429df-05c9-4a74-aabd-21b0df938a3e.jpg?v=1791178513","url":"https:\/\/diycustoms.store\/products\/ebc-bluestuff-ndx-rear-brake-pads-dp52153ndx-for-2015-volkswagen-gti-and-golf-r","provider":"diycustoms.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
