Product Description

The EBC Blue Stuff B DP51118B rear brake pads deliver precise rear control with a medium-friction µ≈0.42 compound. Engineered for larger BMW sedans, SUVs, Z8/M cars, and Maserati Ghibli from 1993-2009, these pads offer strong cold-bite and progressive feel without premature lockup. Featuring deep V-grooves and copper-free aramid fibers, they ensure effective heat and debris removal while protecting rotors. The NUCAP NRS hook and chemical interlayer bonding prevent delamination during high-stress driving.

This rear pad set is ideal for drivers using stock or multi-piston rear calipers who want enhanced braking performance and endurance. Expect longevity up to ~20,000 miles on the street with track-capable consistency - inspect after every 30 laps. Designed specifically for rear axle fitment; not compatible with front or ceramic/oversized setups. Rotor resurfacing is recommended prior to installation. Fitment confirmed through 2009; 2010+ coverage is unverified.
