EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads

High Performance Brake Pads for Aggressive Street and Track Use

DP51871NDX

Overview:

The EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads feature the advanced Bluestuff NDX friction material designed for drivers who demand exceptional stopping power in both aggressive street driving and select track environments. These pads deliver strong initial bite even from cold temperatures, ensuring confident braking performance right from the start.

Ideal for performance enthusiasts who use their vehicles on the street and occasionally on the track, Bluestuff NDX pads offer a progressive brake feel that enhances driver control and confidence. They excel when paired with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers and larger rotors, providing superior release and cooling capabilities.

While these pads perform exceptionally well with modern caliper systems, some older street-based calipers with inherent drag and slider issues may present challenges common to all brake pad materials. Nonetheless, Bluestuff NDX remains a top choice for those seeking a balance between street usability and track-capable braking.

Key Features:

These brake pads incorporate advanced materials and design features to maximize performance and safety:

• High-friction Bluestuff NDX compound optimized for sport and race applications
• Excellent cold bite for immediate braking response without warm-up
• Progressive brake feel for smooth modulation and control
• Designed to work best with multi-piston aftermarket calipers and larger rotors
• Vented pad design to improve heat dissipation during intense braking
• ECE R90 brake safety regulation approved, ensuring compliance with safety standards
• Durable construction suitable for both aggressive street driving and certain track day uses
• Pad dimensions: 193.3 x 66 x 18 mm, compatible with FMSI Pad No. D1455

Construction & Design:

The Bluestuff NDX pads feature a vented design that enhances cooling and reduces fade during demanding braking sessions. The friction material is engineered to maintain consistent performance under high temperatures, while the pad backing plate and bonding process ensure durability and reliable fitment.

These pads are specifically designed to complement multi-piston caliper systems, which provide better pad release and heat management compared to older street calipers. This synergy helps maximize braking efficiency and pedal feel on both street and track.

Installation & Fitment:

The Bluestuff NDX brake pads are designed as direct replacements for compatible brake systems using the FMSI Pad No. D1455 specification. Installation is straightforward, utilizing existing mounting points without the need for modifications.

They fit vented rotors with a diameter of 330 mm and are sized to match calipers requiring pads measuring 193.3 mm in length, 66 mm in height, and 18 mm in thickness. The center hole diameter is 72 mm, and the pad height is 54.5 mm.
