Product Description

The EBC DP51774NDX Bluestuff NDX pads are a full-race front brake compound tailored for the 2006-2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata NC generation across all trim levels. Matched to the NC's 290mm vented front rotors, these pads deliver the high-friction stopping power and precise pedal feel that Miata drivers demand - whether at an autocross event, a SCCA track day, or a spirited back-road run. The NDX compound at 0.52 Mu provides strong cold bite right from the first application, paired with the progressive, linear modulation that the lightweight Miata platform rewards.

EBC's NUCAP NRS hook bonding system and chemical interlayer lock the friction material firmly to the steel backing plate, ensuring reliable performance under the repeated hard braking that track and autocross use demands. The pre-scorched surface shortens bed-in considerably, and the compound's rotor-friendly formulation keeps disc wear in check - an important consideration on a car where replacement rotors come around quickly with aggressive driving. Note that this pad is specific to the NC Miata (2006-2015); the 2016+ ND generation requires a separate EBC application.
