Vehicle Fitment

• 2018-2021 Subaru WRX STI Base (2.5L EJ257 Flat-4 Turbo, AWD)
• 2018-2021 Subaru WRX STI Limited (2.5L EJ257 Flat-4 Turbo, AWD)

Fitment Notes

• Rear axle fitment only - front pads sold separately.
• The 2025 WRX tS features Brembo gold calipers as standard; verify your rear caliper type before ordering to ensure pad shape compatibility.
• The WRX STI was discontinued after the 2021 model year - the VA-chassis STI is the last generation this pad applies to.
• For 2022-2023 Subaru WRX (VB platform), a different rear pad part number is required - this pad does not fit those model years.

Features

• High-friction Bluestuff NDX compound with 0.52 µ coefficient of friction for aggressive street and track performance.
• Strong cold bite with progressive pedal feel - confident stopping from the very first application.
• Rated to 900°C - stable friction output through repeated hard braking and sustained track sessions.
• Deep V-grooves vent heat and evacuate brake dust and debris during track use.
• EBC chemical interlayer system triples pad-to-backplate shear bond strength, preventing delamination under heavy loads.
• ECE R90 road-legal certified for street use in applicable markets.
• Beds in quickly, wears evenly, and is significantly gentler on rotors than comparable race compounds.
• Manufactured in the UK at EBC's dedicated brake pad production facility.

Product Description

The EBC DP52361NDX Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are built for Subaru WRX STI and WRX TR/tS owners who demand track-capable rear braking with excellent street manners. Built on EBC's high-friction NDX compound rated to 0.52 µ and 900°C, these pads deliver confident, progressive stopping from cold and hold strong through repeated hard braking - whether at autocross, on a rally stage, or during an endurance track day.

Covering the 2018-2021 WRX STI in Base, Limited, Type RA, and S209 trim, plus the 2024-2025 WRX TR and tS, these pads feature EBC's chemical interlayer bonding for triple shear strength, deep V-grooves for heat venting and debris evacuation, and a factory heat-scorched surface for rapid bed-in. They wear evenly and are far kinder to rotors than semi-metallic race compounds. Always pair with matching front Bluestuff pads for balanced brake performance. ECE R90 certified for road legality in applicable markets.
