EBC ebcDP51079B Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads for 1996-1998 BMW Z3 1.9L

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. 123.0 x 43.0 x 16.0mm PadDimensions

EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are designed for aggressive street driving and certain types of track use. Their high-friction compound delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and the ability to bring the vehicle to a complete stop without requiring a warm-up period. The pads are suitable for the 1996-1998 BMW Z3 with the 1.9L engine.

The surface is scorched and pre-bedded to help speed the bedding process, with approximately 100 miles of street driving or two track laps stated for bedding. Bluestuff NDX is designed to provide smooth, quiet street braking with low dust production while remaining capable during occasional track use. The compound is stated to remain stable up to 550°C (1,000°F).

These pads are fully ECE R90 approved and carry the N rating and Leaf Mark for environmental safety. NUCAP NRS technology is used for pad bond strength and retention, while a chemical interlayer supports the bond. Deep V grooves help catch dirt and improve venting. Additional design benefits include low heat transfer, smooth surfaces, easy rotor operation, and good release characteristics. Prop 65 applies.
