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 EBC Bluestuff NDX is their bite from cold and progressive brake feel and the ability to bring a car to a complete stop. This has led to the ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval of R90 which is now completed and certificates are being obtained (during July 2011). There are certain older street based caliper systems where even the new Bluestuff will have trouble handling the caliper and slider drag inherent in the systems but this scenario is exactly the same for our competitors. There is NO material that will be PERFECT on the track in all older street based caliper systems.\n\u003cbr\u003eBluestuff NDX Full Race Brake Pads; FMSI Pad No. D558; Vented; 286mm Dia.; 52mm Height; 22mm Thick; 79mm Center Hole Dia.; Pad Dimensions: 151 x 57 x 16mm;\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eChemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDeep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust\/Improves Venting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHuge Lifetime Almost Double Previous EBC Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSurfaces Are Left Smooth And Not Scored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWorlds First Street And True Track Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLow Heat Transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEasy On Rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGreat Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EBC Bluestuff NDX Part Number DP5914NDX are high-performance full race brake pads designed specifically for the front of BMW 3 Series and Z3 models from 1992 to 1999. Engineered for aggressive street driving and track use, these pads provide exceptional initial bite from cold and progressive braking feel, making them ideal for drivers seeking reliable stopping power in both everyday and competitive settings. The chemical interlayer enhances pad bond strength, ensuring durability during demanding driving conditions. Deep V grooves on the pad surface efficiently trap dirt and dust while improving venting, contributing to consistent performance and reduced brake fade. These pads are known for their high longevity, nearly doubling the lifespan of previous EBC products, and feature smooth, non-scored surfaces for optimal rotor contact and easy rotor preservation. Certified under the ECE R90 safety regulation, the Bluestuff NDX pads meet rigorous industry standards for quality and safety. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Compatible with 286mm diameter ventilated rotors and designed to fit a range of BMW models, including the 1992-1999 BMW 3 Series and the 1993-1999 BMW Z3, these pads excel in applications that demand high friction and consistent release. They produce low heat transfer and are easy on rotors, reducing wear and maintaining braking efficiency over time. The pads' design ensures excellent brake release and modulation, critical for performance driving and track day enthusiasts. While these pads perform exceptionally with aftermarket multi-piston calipers, they may face limitations with some older street caliper systems due to caliper and slider drag. Overall, the EBC Bluestuff NDX pads offer a superior balance of stopping power, durability, and safety for high-performance applications. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Please note that these brake pads are not suitable for use with carbureted vehicles or in applications requiring CARB compliance, but they are fully legal for street and track use, meeting all relevant safety standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChemical interlayer pad for super strong pad bond\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeep V grooves catch dirt and improve venting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNearly double the lifespan compared to previous EBC products\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSmooth pad surfaces for optimal rotor contact\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCertified under ECE R90 safety regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for high friction performance in street and track driving\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLow heat transfer and easy on rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExcellent brake release and modulation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 286mm ventilated rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFits BMW 3 Series (1992-1999) and Z3 models (1993-1999)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144467755163,"sku":"ebcDP5914NDX","price":170.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5131\/1259\/files\/1d2d2ce475a21d627ebe4906e455bcca_d369c8ac-1020-4d13-8f7b-4bc2853b7315.jpg?v=1773856088","url":"https:\/\/sr1performance.com\/products\/ebc-bluestuff-ndx-front-brake-pads-for-bmw-3-series-and-z3-models","provider":"SR1 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
