Product Description

The EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads (DP51988NDX) are engineered for a wide range of Audi vehicles, including A4, A5, S4, S5, and Allroad models. 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.
