• Does not fit 1993-1997 4th Gen F-Body - earlier cars used a different front brake configuration
• Pair with EBC rear Bluestuff pads for a complete balanced front-to-rear track brake upgrade

Features

• Bluestuff NDX 0.52mu high-friction compound - the highest friction EBC street/trackday pad, significantly stronger than Yellowstuff under heat
• Exceptional cold bite with progressive, controllable pedal feel - ideal for muscle car weight and power levels
• Fade resistance up to 550°C (1022°F) - built for sustained hard braking on track and spirited road use
• Ultra-fast bed-in - just 5 stops from 70 mph and 5 stops from 80 mph before full performance is achieved
• Deep V-grooves vent heat and channel debris from track use, maintaining clean contact area
• Nucap NRS mechanical back-plate attachment - 5x the shear strength of conventional bonding, eliminating pad delamination risk
• EBC chemical interlayer triples bond strength over standard organic pads for heavy-duty race use
• Lower rotor wear than competing race compounds - kind to factory and performance rotors alike

Product Description

The EBC Bluestuff NDX DP51239NDX is a direct-fit front trackday and high-performance street brake pad for all 1998-2002 4th Generation F-Body Camaro and Firebird/Trans Am variants - from the 3.8L V6 base models through the LS1-powered Z28, SS, Formula, and Trans Am WS6. All 4th Gen F-Body cars from 1998 onward share the same front brake caliper and 303mm rotor configuration, making this a universal upgrade across the entire late F-Body lineup. Built on EBC's Bluestuff NDX compound, these pads deliver the 0.52mu high-friction performance that muscle car weight and power output demand - noticeably stronger initial bite and dramatically better fade resistance at track temperatures compared to Yellowstuff, while retaining fully controllable cold-start behavior for street driving.

Bed-in is the fastest of any EBC performance compound - just a handful of graduated stops from highway speed and the pads are race-ready. The deep V-groove construction actively vents heat and channels pad debris during track use, while the Nucap NRS hook system provides mechanical bond strength five times that of conventional pads. For HPDE drivers, autocross competitors, or Camaro and Firebird owners who simply want the best possible braking on the street, DP51239NDX is the front pad of choice for the 4th Gen F-Body platform.
