Product Description

The EBC DP52150NDX is a set of Bluestuff NDX front brake pads engineered for the shared Volkswagen Group MQB platform, covering the Audi A3, S3, RS3, and Q2, Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7, and Skoda Octavia and Superb. Formulated as a high friction sport and race material, this compound is well suited for aggressive street driving and track use, delivering a 0.52 Mu friction coefficient with immediate bite from cold and no lengthy warm-up process required.

A scorched surface prevents the green fade common to new performance pads, ensuring consistent braking from the very first stop, while deep V-grooves channel away dirt, dust, and debris for sustained performance under hard use. EBC's chemical interlayer bonding technology combined with Nucap NRS retention hooks increases grip and resistance to shear forces by a factor of 5, and blue powder-coated backing plates resist corrosion for long-term durability.

This pad set is intended for owners across the shared MQB platform running aggressive street or trackday driving who want a genuine step up in bite and fade resistance over a standard street pad. Bluestuff NDX has passed extensive testing to gain ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval, making it road legal in markets that require it, and the material bonds in after just 3-4 braking operations on track.
