EBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads DP52254NDX for 2018+ Audi S4 and 2017+ Audi S5

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. 68mm Center Hole Dia.

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are high-friction sport and race pads designed for aggressive street driving and selected track use. Part number DP52254NDX is engineered for the rear braking systems on 2018 and newer Audi S4 and 2017 and newer Audi S5 applications. The Bluestuff NDX compound delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance from street temperatures through demanding driving conditions.

These EBC brake pads are best suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers, larger rotors, improved cooling, and multi-piston designs. Their low heat transfer and controlled release help support consistent braking while being easy on rotors. The pad construction incorporates a chemical interlayer for strong bonding, deep V grooves for debris management and ventilation, and smooth, unscored friction surfaces. Bluestuff NDX is also engineered for extended service life compared with earlier EBC performance compounds. As with any high-performance brake pad, results may vary on older street-based caliper systems affected by slider drag, caliper drag, limited pad area, or restricted cooling.
