Product Description

The EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads (DP52254NDX) are designed for Audi B9 platform vehicles, including the RS5, S4, S5, SQ5, and Q7, equipped with 3.0L V6 turbocharged engines. These pads feature a high-performance aramid fiber compound with a friction coefficient of approximately 0.52 after bedding, providing strong initial bite and stable heat resistance up to 550 °C. The pre-scored surface reduces bedding time, while deep V-grooves aid in debris removal and heat dissipation.

Copper-free and eco-compliant, the Bluestuff NDX pads resist pad-to-plate separation thanks to the NUCAP NRS hook system, making them ideal for spirited street driving and track days. R90/ECE certification ensures street legality where applicable. Proper bedding-in procedures should be followed, and regular inspection is recommended, especially after track use, to ensure safety and longevity.
