EBC Bluestuff Pads

• 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.

Partnered with EBC 2-PC Floating (SG) Discs

• • Precision Engineering:

    • Designed, manufactured, and run-out tested in the UK to ensure uncompromising quality.

  • Versatile Conversion Options:

    • Available as a direct replacement for performance vehicles originally equipped with 2-piece brake discs, or as an easy bolt-on upgrade for vehicles fitted with standard 1-piece cast iron discs.
    • For vehicles with a 2-piece pin-drive disc as standard, the EBC SG2F 2-piece disc upgrade seamlessly converts to a fully floating 2-piece system without any vehicle modifications.
    • No modifications are necessary for these 2-piece disc conversions.

  • Enhanced Thermal Performance:

    • Features 48 directionally-handed, curved vanes that efficiently dissipate heat, helping to maintain lower operating temperatures and delay the onset of brake fade.

  • Lightweight & High-Quality Construction:

    • Lighter than OE discs, these 2-piece brake discs are engineered for superior performance.
    • The outer friction rings are cast from a high-copper, high-carbon G3500 disc alloy, while the bells are precision machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and hard anodised for excellent durability and appearance.

  • Advanced Floating Design:

    • The cast iron friction ring 'floats' on EBC's patented SD-Drive technology bobbins, allowing up to 3mm of expansion and contraction under the extreme heat of heavy braking.
    • All bobbins are crafted from a single piece of stainless steel, which prevents corrosion and ensures long-term free-floating performance.
    • Each bobbin location is equipped with an anti-rattle spring clip, ensuring silent operation without the common noise issues seen in other full race 2-piece disc systems.

  • Performance and Cost Benefits:

    • Upgrading to an EBC 2-piece disc reduces unsprung rotational mass, leading to sharper turn-in, improved tyre road holding, better fuel economy, and increased horsepower at the wheels.
    • When the cast iron friction ring wears out, it can be replaced independently, allowing the centre hub and stainless bobbins to be reused and reducing long-term running costs.

  EBC's mission in developing these brake discs was to engineer the highest quality 2-piece discs possible. Constructed from the finest materials, they offer exceptional performance and durability—making them an ideal, cost-effective upgrade for both road and track applications.
