EBC Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads for 2018+ Subaru WRX STI 2.5L Turbo - DP52361NDX

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. 58mm Center Hole Dia.

Upgrade the braking performance of your 2018 and newer Subaru WRX STI 2.5L Turbo with EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads, part number DP52361NDX. Designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications, Bluestuff NDX combines strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and reliable stopping power. The compound is engineered for vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket calipers and performance brake systems that provide improved pad release, cooling, and rotor capacity.

EBC Bluestuff NDX pads use a chemical interlayer to create a strong bond between the friction material and backing plate. Deep V-grooves help capture dust and improve ventilation, while low heat transfer helps reduce thermal stress in demanding driving conditions. The smooth, unscored friction surfaces are designed to be easy on rotors, and the compound offers controlled release for more predictable braking. EBC also developed Bluestuff NDX to provide a long service life compared with previous EBC performance compounds.
