EBC BlueStuff Brake Pads (DP52094NDX)

BlueStuff is EBC’s highest performing ECE R90-approved material, meaning BlueStuff complies with ADR and is therefore fully legal for use on the public roads in Australia. BlueStuff’s high performance and road legality make it the brake pad of choice for many trackday enthusiasts who wish to drive to/from the circuit, as well as club racers looking for a cost-effective motorsport pad.

Where YellowStuff is fundamentally a road pad that can also handle occasional track use, BlueStuff is a track-focussed brake pad that has been dialled down to comply with ECE R90 and possess reasonable road manors. The result is that BlueStuff has a slightly higher friction coefficient of 0.45 and a wider temperature working range of 0 – 625°C. BlueStuff also has a 3x shorter bedding-in time compared to YellowStuff, making it more of a ‘plug n play’ brake pad.

The trade-off for BlueStuff’s higher fade resistance and longer wear life (vs. YellowStuff) can result in some light brake noise and increased brake dust (however in most instances brake noise is minimal since these pads are still supplied fitted with OEM-style anti-noise shims).

If you’re looking to extract the maximum performance from your vehicle’s brake system, whilst still using a road-legal pad that is fully ADR compliant and has acceptable road manors, BlueStuff is an excellent choice.

BlueStuff is manufactured in EBC’s factory in Bristol, UK. Despite its high performance, BlueStuff still achieves the highest ‘N’ rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, meaning it contains no harmful materials and any brake wear emissions pose a very low risk to the environment and marine life.

NOTE: The huge stopping power and high fade-resistance of BlueStuff also make this material a popular choice for trucks, SUVs and 4x4s doing serious off-roading or towing big loads.
