EBC 12-16 BMW M5 (F10) Bluestuff Front Brake Pads

EBC Bluestuff NDX Performance Brake Pads – Street-Legal Track Compound

EBC Bluestuff NDX is the world’s first street-legal track pad, engineered for aggressive street driving and dedicated performance use. This high-friction sport and race compound delivers instant bite from cold and excellent fade resistance under high heat, making it ideal for fast road driving, track days, and time attack events.

Developed to perform best with multi-piston calipers and larger rotors, Bluestuff NDX has proven its capability on the track in vehicles equipped with advanced aftermarket braking systems. While compatible with street-based calipers, users may experience limitations due to pad size and caliper drag—challenges not unique to EBC, but inherent to OEM-style brake setups.

What truly sets Bluestuff NDX apart is its strong progressive brake feel, smooth rotor contact, and low heat transfer, which improves pad life and pedal consistency. This compound is also ECE R90 approved, meaning it meets strict EU standards for road use—a rare feat for a race-focused pad.
