EBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads for 1987-1988 BMW M5 E28, DP5447NDX

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: 125 x 38 x 16mm

• 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
• Great Release

EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 1987-1988 BMW M5 E28. This high-friction compound delivers strong initial bite when cold, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance. Bluestuff NDX is especially well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

The compound is engineered to balance high performance with practical street usability. Low heat transfer helps protect the braking system, while excellent release characteristics help reduce drag. The pad surface is left smooth rather than scored, helping provide consistent rotor contact. EBC's chemical interlayer construction promotes strong pad bonding, and deep V-grooves help manage dust and improve ventilation during repeated braking.

These EBC DP5447NDX pads offer extended service life compared with previous EBC performance compounds and are designed to be easier on rotors. Bluestuff NDX has also been developed to meet demanding brake safety expectations, including ECE R90 approval for applicable applications. As with any high-performance brake pad, results can vary depending on caliper design, pad size, rotor condition, cooling, and caliper or slider drag. Verify vehicle and brake-system compatibility before installation.
