Fitment Notes

• Rear axle fitment only - sold as a 2-wheel (one axle) set
• Fits Evo VIII (2003-2005) and Evo IX (2005-2006) with OEM rear Brembo single-piston calipers

Product Description

The EBC DP51538NDX Bluestuff NDX pads are a full-race rear brake compound built specifically for the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII and IX. Engineered to work with the OEM rear Brembo single-piston calipers found on all Evo VIII/IX variants - GSR, MR, RS, and SE - these pads deliver the high-friction performance that the 4G63T-powered Evolution demands under hard driving conditions. At 0.52 Mu, the NDX compound provides strong, confident rear bite from cold, making it equally effective on canyon roads as it is during a full track day session.

EBC's NUCAP NRS hook system and chemical interlayer ensure the friction material stays firmly bonded to the steel backing plate even under the sustained thermal stress of repeated hard braking. Deep V-grooves handle the additional debris and dust generated at the track, and the compound's relatively rotor-friendly formulation keeps wear on your rear discs in check. For Evo 8/9 owners looking for a rear pad upgrade that bridges aggressive street use and track performance, the DP51538NDX is a proven, direct-fit solution.
