Specifications
Part Details:
New pads require a proper bedding-in period. Brake gently for the first 200 miles, gradually increasing demand as confidence builds, especially before highway use or pairing with part-worn rotors.
EBC Bluestuff NDX is a high-friction sport and race compound built for drivers who push their Type R hard on the street and want that same bite when they hit the track. It’s EBC’s recommended entry-level race pad, delivering a powerful, predictable bite right from cold and a progressive brake feel that stays controllable under hard, repeated use. Formulated for compatibility with multi-piston systems, Bluestuff NDX is optimized for track-day release and cooling performance, while remaining fully R90 street-legal.
Bluestuff has a genuine competition pedigree, having been the pad of choice for several seasons of BMW Cup racing, and remains EBC’s recommended track-day pad for drivers who want serious stopping power without giving up street manners entirely.
