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. D1386; Vented; 330mm Dia.; 36.1mm Height; 22mm Thick; 68mm Center Hole Dia.; Pad Dimensions: 116 x 59 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\u003eEBC Brakes Bluestuff NDX Full Race Brake Pads are engineered for high-performance street driving and track use, offering exceptional stopping power and reliable fade resistance. Designed specifically for vehicles like the Audi S4 and S5 from model years 2010 to 2015, these pads provide aggressive braking with a focus on cold bite and progressive pedal feel, making them ideal for spirited driving and competitive track days. The chemical interlayer enhances pad bond strength, ensuring durability and longevity even under demanding conditions. \u003cbr\u003eDeep V grooves facilitate effective dirt and dust removal while improving ventilation, helping to maintain consistent brake performance and reduce heat build-up during intense driving sessions. The unique vented design supports efficient cooling, reducing thermal stress and prolonging pad life. These brake pads are engineered with smooth, non-scored surfaces for optimal rotor contact and minimal rotor wear, ensuring easy rotor preservation and maintenance. \u003cbr\u003eOne of the standout features of the Bluestuff NDX is its high friction material, which delivers powerful initial bite from cold temperatures, allowing for quick and confident stops. The pads are also designed for easy, progressive release, providing precise control and reducing the risk of brake fade during high-speed or high-stress driving. They meet the ECE R90 safety regulation, confirming their reliability and safety for street use while maintaining track-grade performance. \u003cbr\u003eManufactured with a focus on durability, these pads boast a significantly increased lifetime—almost double that of previous EBC products—making them a cost-effective choice for enthusiasts seeking high-performance brake solutions. Suitable for vehicles equipped with multi-piston calipers and larger rotors, the Bluestuff NDX pads excel in demanding conditions, although some older street caliper systems may pose challenges due to caliper and slider drag. Overall, they represent a balanced combination of street-friendly features and race-grade capabilities, making them a versatile choice for performance-oriented drivers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh friction material provides aggressive braking with strong initial bite from cold\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeep V grooves help evacuate dirt and dust while improving venting and cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVented design supports efficient heat dissipation for consistent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSmooth contact surfaces reduce rotor wear and facilitate easy rotor maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnhanced durability with nearly double the lifespan of previous models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned to meet ECE R90 safety regulation for street legality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOptimized for multi-piston calipers and larger rotors, suitable for serious track use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgressive brake feel and quick release for precise control during spirited driving\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144813129883,"sku":"ebcDP51988NDX","price":170.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5131\/1259\/files\/2bf5670cb83de5678bf29317c74217a8_4463a021-3865-4372-b93a-b45d3326e69e.jpg?v=1773856557","url":"https:\/\/sr1performance.com\/products\/ebc-brakes-bluestuff-ndx-full-race-brake-pads-for-audi-s4-and-s5-high-friction-street-and-track-performance","provider":"SR1 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
