• Rated to 900°C - stable friction output under repeated hard braking and sustained track conditions.
• Deep V-grooves vent heat and clear brake dust and debris during track sessions.
• EBC chemical interlayer system triples pad-to-backplate shear bond strength, preventing delamination under heavy loads.

Product Description

The EBC DP51986NDX Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are engineered for Audi B8 and B8.5 platform owners who want track-grade stopping performance without giving up street usability. Built on EBC's high-friction NDX compound rated to 0.4 µ and 900°C, these pads deliver confident, progressive braking from cold and hold strong under sustained hard use - on both the street and circuit.

Covering the Audi A4, A4 allroad, A5, S4, and S5 across the 2008-2017 model range, these pads feature EBC's chemical interlayer bonding for triple shear strength, deep V-grooves for ventilation and debris evacuation, and a factory heat-scorched surface for rapid bed-in. They wear evenly and are far less aggressive on rotors than most race-grade compounds. ECE R90 certified for road legality in applicable markets.
