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. D940\/D1060; Solid; 259mm Dia.; 44mm Height; 10mm Thick; 64.1mm Center Hole Dia.; Pad Dimensions: 123 x 43 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 Rear Brake Pads are engineered for high-performance street and track driving, specifically designed for 2002 to 2006 Mini Cooper R50 models. Crafted with advanced materials, these pads deliver exceptional bite from cold and a progressive brake feel, ensuring confident stopping power under aggressive driving conditions. The chemical interlayer enhances pad bonding strength, while deep V grooves help in effectively trapping dirt and dust, improving venting and maintaining consistent performance. These pads are suitable for use with large aftermarket calipers and high-performance rotors, providing reliable braking even during demanding track sessions.\u003cbr\u003eEBC's Bluestuff NDX pads are approved under the ECE R90 brake safety regulation, reflecting their quality and safety standards. They feature a smooth surface finish, avoiding scoring and ensuring minimal rotor wear. The low heat transfer characteristic reduces brake fade, while the easy-on rotors design extends rotor life. The pads also offer excellent release, which contributes to consistent pedal feel and quicker response times. With a large lifetime expectancy—almost double previous EBC products—they are ideal for enthusiasts seeking durability and superior stopping power.\u003cbr\u003eWhile these pads excel on the track and in aggressive street scenarios, some older street caliper systems with complex caliper and slider drag may pose challenges. However, this limitation is common across many high-performance brake pads and not unique to EBC Bluestuff NDX. Overall, they are the world's first true street and track brake pads, providing a reliable and high-performance solution for Mini Cooper owners who demand more from their braking system.\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 that catch dirt and improve venting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAlmost double the lifetime of previous EBC products\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSmooth surface finish to prevent scoring\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned as the world’s first street and true track pad\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLow heat transfer for consistent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEasy on rotors to extend rotor life\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExcellent brake release for quick response\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144402776219,"sku":"ebcDP51701NDX","price":117.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5131\/1259\/files\/1d2d2ce475a21d627ebe4906e455bcca_b93db92c-c17e-4292-bd76-a3da5342f2b8.jpg?v=1773855468","url":"https:\/\/sr1performance.com\/products\/ebc-bluestuff-ndx-rear-brake-pads-for-2002-2006-mini-cooper-r50-high-friction-sport-performance","provider":"SR1 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
