EBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads for 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS-V 5.7L, Part Number DP51788NDX

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: 110 x 69 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

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS-V with the 5.7L engine. Part number DP51788NDX uses a high-friction compound that delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and reliable stopping performance without requiring the brakes to reach high operating temperatures.

Developed for drivers who demand more from their braking system, Bluestuff NDX combines track-capable friction characteristics with street-friendly control. The compound is particularly well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors. Performance may vary on older street-based caliper systems where pad size, slider drag, or caliper release can limit any high-performance brake material.
