Product Description

The EBC DP52173NDX Bluestuff NDX brake pad set is a rear axle upgrade for drivers who need higher heat capacity and stronger bite than a typical OE-style street pad. Bluestuff NDX is one of EBC's more track-focused compounds, built for aggressive street driving, track day use, and club-level motorsport while still offering strong cold response and controllable pedal feel. The deep V-slot design helps vent gases, dust, and debris during repeated hard stops.

Cross-validated reviewed sources support DP52173NDX as a rear pad set. Summit Racing confirms the compound family, rear-axle product details, and core specifications, while EBC's 2025 racing catalog identifies DP52173NDX under the DP2173 pad shape for Audi/Seat/Skoda/Volkswagen applications with 123 x 61 x 16 mm dimensions. Additional trusted retailer listings specifically surface Audi S3, TT Quattro, and TTS rear applications using the ATE rear caliper shape. I did not extend fitment beyond these Audi models because the broader VW Group application set was not cleanly vehicle-specific across two trusted sources to the required standard. No lift or drop height applies because this is a brake pad set, not a suspension component.
