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. D683; Solid\/Vented; 320\/324\/328mm Dia.; 75mm Center Hole Dia.; Pad Dimensions: 123 x 58 x 17mm;\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, offering exceptional braking power and responsiveness. Designed specifically for BMW 3 Series models from 2001 to 2005, these pads are ideal for drivers seeking aggressive stopping capability with reliable cold bite and progressive pedal feel. Crafted with a chemical interlayer pad for a super strong bond, these pads provide durability and consistent performance under demanding conditions. The deep V grooves effectively catch dirt and dust while improving venting, helping to maintain optimal braking temperatures and reduce brake fade during intense driving sessions. Built to meet strict safety standards, the Bluestuff NDX pads have achieved ECE R90 approval, ensuring they comply with European regulations for brake safety and performance.\u003cbr\u003eThe pads feature a solid\/vented design compatible with rotor diameters up to 328mm and a 75mm center hole diameter for an exact fit on suitable calipers. Their smooth surface finish minimizes rotor wear and facilitates easy installation. They also offer low heat transfer to help prevent brake fade and reduce rotor stress, making them a great choice for both spirited street driving and track use. The pads deliver excellent release characteristics, enabling quick and confident stops, even from high speeds. With a significantly increased lifespan compared to previous EBC products, these brake pads are designed to withstand the rigors of aggressive driving over extended periods. Although some older caliper systems may present challenges due to caliper and slider drag, the Bluestuff NDX pads excel on modern multi-piston calipers with better release and cooling, ensuring optimal performance for most high-performance applications. Trust EBC's reputation for quality and innovation with these advanced brake pads, suitable for enthusiasts and professionals alike seeking top-tier braking performance in a reliable, street-legal package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChemical interlayer pad for a super strong pad bond\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeep V grooves catch dirt and dust while improving 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 reduces rotor scoring\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFirst street and true track pad approved under ECE R90 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLow heat transfer minimizes brake fade\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEasy on rotors for extended rotor life\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExcellent release characteristics for quick stops\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144404021403,"sku":"ebcDP51118B","price":124.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5131\/1259\/files\/1d2d2ce475a21d627ebe4906e455bcca_fbb79111-95e7-4d78-8ece-9f0f540f35a6.jpg?v=1773855476","url":"https:\/\/sr1performance.com\/products\/ebc-bluestuff-ndx-rear-brake-pads-for-bmw-3-series-e46-2001-2005-high-friction-sport-and-track-performance","provider":"SR1 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
