Product Description

The EBC Blue Stuff NDX DP51162NDX front brake pads provide aggressive, high-friction stopping performance straight from cold - ideal for Corvette, XLR, and GTO owners who enjoy spirited street driving or occasional track days. Featuring a µ≈0.52 compound, pre-scorched surfaces, and deep V-grooves, they offer fast bedding, excellent thermal stability, and reduced rotor wear thanks to aramid fibers and a copper-free formula. Expect consistent pedal feel and stopping power up to around 550 °C.

Designed for front rotors on Chevrolet Corvette C5/C6, Cadillac XLR/XLR-V, and Pontiac GTO from 1997 through 2013, this set is RWD and front-axle specific. Not compatible with ceramic or oversized aftermarket caliper setups. Fitment is confirmed through 2013; coverage for later models is unverified. Weight per axle is ~1.37 kg, and pad dimensions are 183 x 60 x 15 mm - ensure compatibility with stock or factory-like rotors. Resurfaced, flat rotors required for optimal performance.
