Product Details
Bluestuff NDX Formula Racing Brake Pads (DP52415NDX) by EBC®. Bluestuff NDX is an intermediate grade trackday and race pad making it the material of choice for many club level racers and serious trackday enthusiasts. However, due to Bluestuff having excellent cold friction and being very controllable, this compound has quickly become the brake pad of choice for performance road car drivers in USA and Asia markets where R90 homologation does not apply.
Installation
More recently, EBC are pleased to announce that Bluestuff™ has passed extensive road focused testing and gained R90 approval on some E.U. fitments, making it unique in being the first truly track focused pad which is also perfectly legal for use on the public roads across Europe. There is no requirement for E.U. customers to inform their insurance company following fitment of R90 approved pads.
For customers with experience of EBC’s widely acclaimed Yellowstuff™ material, Bluestuff™ boasts a similar friction profile but with a usefully higher friction coefficient across the now larger working range, feeling much like you’d imagine Yellowstuff™ to feel after a double hit of espresso. Bluestuff™ has a high friction coefficient without feeling grabby, taking things up a notch from EBC’s Yellowstuff™ material by bringing superb pedal modulation to a track pad with even greater fade resistance. However, being a track focused material, customers may experience a noticeable increase in both brake dust and brake noise. As is often the case with friction materials, an increase in ultimate performance is often met by an increase in noise and dust.
