Product Description

The EBC DP52438NDX Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads provide high-performance braking upgrades for Volkswagen Golf GTI, Golf R, and Audi S3 models from 2022 through 2025. These pads utilize an aramid fiber-based compound that delivers a stable and high friction coefficient (~0.52µ) from ambient temperature up to 550°C (1000°F), ensuring excellent stopping power in both street and track conditions.

Designed as a direct OE replacement, these pads feature deep V-grooves to aid heat dissipation and debris removal, alongside blue powder-coated backing plates that resist corrosion. The copper-free formulation ensures environmental compliance, and the pads meet R90 standards for emissions. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved braking response and durability with minimal break-in time.
