Replacement Stainless Steel Plate Bluestuff Street and Track Brake Pads for EBC Calipers (DP5002SS)

Rotor Condition

• Ensuring rotors are in near-perfect flat condition is crucial, as uneven, grooved, or ribbed surfaces can triple bed-in times for both street and track use.
• EBC Yellowstuff is a harder, more durable pad, requiring smooth rotors for optimal performance.
• If resurfacing is needed, EBC strongly recommends using high-quality ON-CAR brake lathes from Pro-Cut for the best results.

Pad Lifetime

• Track Use: Inspect pads every 30 laps and replace them when the friction material reaches 3mm (1/8 inch) to prevent brake fade.
• Street Use: Expect a significantly longer lifespan—20,000 miles or more, even under aggressive driving conditions.

Cooling & Caliper Drag

• Simply installing a race pad does not instantly make a street brake system track-ready.
• Additional cooling ducts may be necessary to prevent excessive heat buildup and extend pad and rotor life during racing conditions.

Using Bluestuff NDX as a Street-Only Pad

• In Europe, brake pads must meet ECE R90 certification for legal road use.
• Bluestuff is not R90 approved for all vehicles—check approval status before using it on public roads.
