EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads

Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads

Bluestuff NDX is a high friction sport and race material with R90 approval on some fitments for the EU. This compound is acceptable for road use in USA and Asia. 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 Bluestuff NDX is their bite from cold and progressive brake feel and the ability to bring a car to a complete stop.

The NDX pad material is bonded to the steel backing plates using multiple high strength interlock holes and a unique chemical interlayer which raises shear and bond strength by a factor of five and prevents pad to plate separation. The pads are then baked and ground and feature high volume Vee grooves to catch the inevitable large amount of debris from track use.

The EBC chemical interlayer system is used on Bluestuff NDX range pads which being a harder material and for heavy duty race applications require that extra security of bond strength. The effect of the interlayer is to triple shear strength of a common organic brake pad over non interlayer versions.
