EBC DP5189NDX Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads, Lotus Esprit 2.2L 1985-1990

Description

EBC Bluestuff NDX is one of the most capable fast-street and entry-level trackday pad grades ever produced, and on the Lotus Esprit 2.2L it delivers powerful, confident stopping with remarkable cold bite straight off the pedal.

The Bluestuff NDX compound runs a high 0.52 Mu friction level, giving strong cold bite without the long warm-up a dedicated race pad demands. It is factory heat-scorched to slash bed-in time, so the Lotus Esprit 2.2L feels sharp within the first few miles of driving.

This Rear set is engineered to the OE caliper and rotor geometry for the Lotus Esprit 2.2L, 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 Lotus Esprit 2.2L. For sustained wheel-to-wheel racing where temperatures climb higher, EBC recommends the RP-1, RP-X, or SR race series instead.

Recommended Usage: 

• Fast road use on performance cars and hot hatches
