Product Description

The EBC DP52145NDX Bluestuff NDX pad set is engineered as a direct replacement for the front brake system on the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST with factory 5-lug Brembo-style front calipers and 320 mm rotors. Designed for cold bite and fade resistance, this high-friction compound delivers race-level performance while remaining street legal (R90 approved).

Featuring deep V-groove venting and etched friction surfaces, the NDX material achieves fast bed-in times and stable brake feel under track or spirited street use. Nucap® backing plates with metal hooks provide pad retention under extreme heat cycles, and the aramid-based compound offers excellent rotor protection.

Low dust, consistent feel, and plug-and-play installation make this pad ideal for performance-oriented drivers who want aggressive stopping power without rotor damage or compatibility fuss. EBC backs this pad with a 1-Year/10,000-mile limited warranty.
