EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads

Universal Fitment for Aggressive Street and Track Use

DP51872NDX

Overview:

The EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads are engineered for drivers who demand high-performance braking in both aggressive street driving and certain track day scenarios. Featuring the advanced Bluestuff NDX friction material, these pads deliver exceptional bite from cold and a progressive brake feel that enhances driver confidence and control.

Designed to work best with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers and larger rotors, these pads excel in applications where superior release, cooling, and stopping power are critical. While they perform well on many street-based caliper systems, some older calipers with inherent drag may challenge any brake pad material, including Bluestuff NDX.

With ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval, these pads meet stringent safety standards, making them a reliable choice for enthusiasts seeking improved braking performance without compromising safety.

Key Features:

The Bluestuff NDX brake pads combine advanced materials and design to deliver superior braking performance for street and track use. Key features include:

• High-friction sport and race-grade material optimized for aggressive street driving and track day use.
• Excellent cold bite for immediate braking response without the need for warming up.
• Progressive brake feel that allows smooth modulation and control under heavy braking.
• Designed for use with multi-piston aftermarket calipers offering improved release and cooling.
• Compatible with larger diameter rotors (330mm diameter) for enhanced heat dissipation and stopping power.
• ECE R90 approved, ensuring compliance with brake safety regulations.
• Durable solid pad construction with dimensions tailored for performance applications (148 x 59 x 17mm).
• Effective on many street-based calipers, though some older systems with caliper and slider drag may limit performance.
• FMSI Pad Number: D1498 for easy identification and fitment confirmation.

Construction & Design:

The Bluestuff NDX pads feature a solid, high-friction compound designed specifically for sport and race conditions. Their construction supports consistent performance under high temperatures generated during track use, while maintaining strong cold bite for street driving. The pads are engineered to fit rotors up to 330mm in diameter and include precise dimensions to ensure proper fitment and optimal contact with the rotor surface.

This combination of materials and design results in a brake pad that balances aggressive stopping power with progressive pedal feel, making it suitable for drivers who require dependable braking in varied driving environments.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are designed to fit a range of vehicles equipped with compatible caliper and rotor sizes, particularly those using multi-piston aftermarket calipers. Installation typically involves a direct replacement of factory pads, utilizing existing mounting points and hardware.

While the pads fit many street and track applications, it is important to verify compatibility with your specific caliper system, especially on older vehicles where caliper drag may affect performance. No special modifications or tuning are required for installation.
