EBC DP52173NDX Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads, Audi S3 2014+

Description

EBC Bluestuff NDX is one of the most capable fast-street and entry-level trackday pad grades ever produced, and on the Audi S3 it delivers powerful, confident stopping with remarkable cold bite straight off the pedal.

Bluestuff NDX is R90 approved for European street use and engineered for both fast road and lapping duty. Its bonded NUCAP NRS hook backing plates raise shear strength dramatically and eliminate any chance of pad debond on the Audi S3.

This Rear set is engineered to the OE caliper and rotor geometry for the Audi S3, ensuring correct pad shape, even wear, and a clean fit. Each set ships as a complete four-pad axle set.

Bluestuff NDX is stable to around 550°C (1000°F), covering aggressive street use and amateur track days on the Audi S3. For sustained wheel-to-wheel racing where temperatures climb higher, EBC recommends the RP-1, RP-X, or SR race series instead.
