EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads

Universal Fitment for Aggressive Street and Track Use

DP51853NDX

Overview:

The EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads feature the advanced Bluestuff NDX friction material designed for high-performance street driving and select track applications. Engineered to deliver exceptional bite from cold, these pads provide a progressive brake feel that enhances driver confidence and control in demanding conditions.

Ideal for enthusiasts who push their vehicles hard on both the street and track, Bluestuff NDX pads excel when paired with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers and larger rotors. They offer reliable stopping power and fade resistance, making them a trusted choice for spirited driving and occasional track days.

While these pads perform well with modern performance calipers, they may face challenges with certain older street-based caliper systems due to inherent caliper and slider drag. This limitation is common across all high-performance brake materials and not unique to Bluestuff NDX.

Key Features:

These brake pads incorporate advanced materials and design to balance street usability with track-capable performance:

• High-friction Bluestuff NDX compound optimized for aggressive street and race use
• Excellent cold bite for immediate braking response without warm-up delay
• Progressive pedal feel for precise modulation and control
• Designed to work best with multi-piston aftermarket calipers offering improved release and cooling
• Compatible with larger rotors to maximize braking performance and heat dissipation
• ECE R90 brake safety regulation approved, ensuring compliance with safety standards
• Pad dimensions: 190 x 93 x 15 mm, vented design for enhanced cooling
• FMSI Pad Number: D1405, suitable for applications requiring 370 mm diameter rotors
• Durable construction supports repeated high-temperature braking without significant fade

Construction & Design:

The Bluestuff NDX pads feature a vented design that promotes effective heat dissipation during intense braking sessions. The friction material is formulated to maintain consistent performance under both street and track conditions, balancing aggressive bite with manageable noise and dust levels.

These pads are engineered to fit a range of caliper designs, particularly excelling with modern multi-piston setups that provide better pad release and cooling efficiency. The robust construction ensures longevity and reliable stopping power even under demanding use.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are designed as direct replacements for compatible brake systems using FMSI pad number D1405. Installation typically requires no modifications, making them a straightforward upgrade for vehicles equipped with matching calipers and rotor sizes.

• Fits brake systems with 370 mm diameter rotors
• Designed for vented rotors with 50 mm height and 34 mm thickness
• No cutting, drilling, or special tuning required for proper fitment

What's Included:

• Set of EBC Bluestuff NDX brake pads matching FMSI number D1405
• Installation instructions and hardware may be included depending on application

Ideal For:

• Performance enthusiasts seeking enhanced braking on aggressive street driving
• Drivers participating in occasional track days with quality aftermarket calipers
• Vehicles equipped with multi-piston calipers and larger rotors for improved brake performance
• Those requiring brake pads with strong cold bite and progressive pedal feel

Emissions Note

The EBC Bluestuff NDX brake pads have achieved ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval, ensuring they meet recognized safety standards. Certificates were being obtained as of July 2011. However, due to caliper and slider drag in some older street-based caliper systems, performance may vary and no brake pad material can guarantee perfect track performance in all such setups.
