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 designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2014 and newer Audi S3. Part number DP52173NDX uses a high-friction compound that delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and reliable stopping performance. The Bluestuff NDX material is particularly well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers, multi-piston systems, improved cooling, and larger rotors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese EBC brake pads are engineered with a chemical interlayer to create a strong pad bond, while deep V-grooves help capture dust and improve ventilation. The compound provides low heat transfer, smooth rotor contact, and easy release to support consistent braking performance. Bluestuff NDX also offers extended service life compared with previous EBC pad compounds, although brake performance can vary depending on caliper design, pad size, rotor condition, and slider drag. No brake pad material is ideal for every older street-based caliper system under track conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a street-and-track brake pad, Bluestuff NDX combines high friction performance with street usability and has achieved ECE R90 safety approval. The pad surface is left smooth rather than scored to promote even contact with the rotor. This set is intended for the rear axle and includes one complete set of EBC Bluestuff NDX brake pads. Always verify vehicle year, brake package, rotor configuration, and caliper compatibility before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications and Technical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: DP52173NDX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Rear high-friction brake pad set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: 2014+ Audi S3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: Bluestuff NDX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended Use: Aggressive street driving and select track applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Approval: ECE R90 approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad Quantity: One complete rear axle set\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\u003eHigh-friction Bluestuff NDX compound provides strong cold bite and progressive brake feel for aggressive street driving and select track use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical interlayer construction creates a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep V-grooves help capture dirt and brake dust while improving pad ventilation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow heat transfer, easy release, smooth rotor contact, and extended service life support consistent braking performance.\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":67646869078268,"sku":"DP52173NDX","price":150.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/6518\/3740\/files\/99dee812fe2f96cebbdd11e639f1a03cL.jpg?v=1791178526","url":"https:\/\/diycustoms.store\/products\/ebc-bluestuff-ndx-rear-brake-pads-for-2014-audi-s3-dp52173ndx","provider":"diycustoms.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
