EBC Bluestuff NDX Street and Track Day Brake Pads DP51473NDX

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: 190 x 107 x 16mm

• 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 brake pads deliver high-friction performance for aggressive street driving and select track-day applications. Designed to provide strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping power, these pads are especially well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors. The EBC DP51473NDX compound is engineered for drivers who want street usability with enhanced performance potential on the track.

Bluestuff NDX uses a chemical interlayer to create a strong pad bond and deep V grooves to help capture dust while improving ventilation. The smooth, unscored friction surfaces are designed to be easy on rotors, while low heat transfer and excellent release characteristics help support consistent braking performance. The compound has also achieved ECE R90 brake safety approval, subject to applicable certification documentation.

As with any high-performance brake pad, results depend on the vehicle’s caliper design, pad size, rotor configuration, cooling, and slider condition. Older street-based calipers with significant drag may limit track performance regardless of pad material. Proper bedding and inspection of the complete braking system are recommended before performance driving.
