Product Description

The EBC DP5680NDX Bluestuff NDX Rear Brake Pads are a performance-oriented pad set built to deliver significant braking performance improvements for compatible rear brake systems on select older Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. Featuring EBC's Bluestuff NDX compound, these pads provide strong initial bite even from cold and maintain stable friction through higher temperatures - qualities that serve both spirited street use and occasional track day demands. Their factory heat-scorched, pre-bedded design means less break-in time is needed for confident stopping performance.

Fitment includes rear brake applications on models such as the 2004-2006 Audi TT (Quattro 3.2 and other variants), earlier Audi TT generations, 2010-2013 Audi A3 models, and various Volkswagen Beetle years where pad size and caliper type match. Deep V grooves assist in managing heat and debris during repeated hard braking, while the aramid fiber-rich compound helps reduce rotor wear compared with more aggressive metallic pads. These pads are ideal for drivers seeking a strong, track-capable but still street-usable rear brake upgrade on compatible older German hatchbacks and coupes.
