EBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads for 2014–2020 BMW i8 – DP52047NDX

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: 106 x 56 x 18mm

• 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

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2014–2020 BMW i8. Using EBC part number DP52047NDX, this high-friction compound delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance. The pad is engineered for drivers who want enhanced braking response without sacrificing smooth engagement during everyday use.

Bluestuff NDX has been developed for use with performance-oriented braking systems, including aftermarket multi-piston calipers with improved pad release, cooling, and larger rotors. Its low heat transfer characteristics help manage thermal load, while the pad’s rotor-friendly formulation is designed to provide consistent performance with controlled wear. As with any high-performance pad, results can vary on older street-based caliper systems where slider drag, caliper movement, limited pad area, or restricted cooling may affect track performance.
