Smart Ebc Brakes Pad And Disc Kit (pd04kr381) System [NHDqpCox]

EBC Bluestuff Pads

• Rotor Condition

  • Ensuring rotors are in near-perfect flat condition is crucial, as uneven, grooved, or ribbed surfaces can triple bed-in times for both street and track use.
  • EBC Yellowstuff is a harder, more durable pad, requiring smooth rotors for optimal performance.
  • If resurfacing is needed, EBC strongly recommends using high-quality ON-CAR brake lathes from Pro-Cut for the best results.

• Pad Lifetime

  • Track Use: Inspect pads every 30 laps and replace them when the friction material reaches 3mm (1/8 inch) to prevent brake fade.
  • Street Use: Expect a significantly longer lifespan—20,000 miles or more, even under aggressive driving conditions.

• Cooling & Caliper Drag

  • Simply installing a race pad does not instantly make a street brake system track-ready.
  • Additional cooling ducts may be necessary to prevent excessive heat buildup and extend pad and rotor life during racing conditions.

• Using Bluestuff NDX as a Street-Only Pad

  • In Europe, brake pads must meet ECE R90 certification for legal road use.
  • Bluestuff is not R90 approved for all vehicles—check approval status before using it on public roads.

Bluestuff NDX is a high-performance 0.52 Mu entry-level race pad that is R90 approved for most applications. With a quick bed-in process and a medium-plus lifespan, it is an ideal choice for track days and competitive racing. This compound has been a trusted option in the BMW Cup Series for several seasons.

For lighter vehicles, pairing the B version on the rear axle—offering slightly lower friction—with NDX on the front can help optimize brake balance for improved control.
