Product Description

The EBC DP52047NDX Bluestuff NDX Full Race Rear Brake Pads are engineered for drivers who demand top performance from street to track. With a high-friction NDX compound, these pads deliver strong bite even when cold and maintain performance under sustained heat. They're ideal for rear vented rotor setups on select BMWs and the i8, offering excellent modulation and fade resistance.

Designed specifically for use with vented rear rotors and matching OEM calipers on the rear axle, this pad set is not compatible with solid or non-vented rear rotors. Proper pedal feel, minimal drag and even wear are dependent on compatible rotor material, correct caliper geometry, and good maintenance. Bedding-in is essential to achieve optimal performance and longevity.

Please note: fitment is confirmed through 2024; 2025 compatibility is currently unverified. Ensure your vehicle's rear braking components match the specifications listed before purchasing to avoid fitment issues.
