EBC 04-12 Aston Martin DB9 5.9 Bluestuff Front Brake Pads

If you're looking for a brake pad that can handle aggressive street driving and occasional track days, the EBC Bluestuff NDX is a solid option. This pad is designed for vehicles like the Aston Martin DB9, offering a high friction material that provides a strong bite from cold and a progressive feel. It's built to bring your car to a confident stop, even when pushed harder than a typical daily driver might demand.

What sets Bluestuff NDX apart is its ability to perform well in a variety of conditions. It's approved for ECE R90 safety regulations, meaning it meets strict standards for street use. While it excels with aftermarket calipers that offer better cooling and release, it also performs admirably with many factory street-based systems. The deep V-grooves help vent dust and improve airflow, while the chemical interlayer ensures a super strong bond between the pad material and the backing plate. You can expect nearly double the lifetime of previous EBC pad designs, and they're made to be easy on your rotors, leaving their surfaces smooth.

This pad is a popular choice for drivers who want a noticeable improvement in stopping power for spirited driving. It's important to note that while Bluestuff NDX is designed for both street and track, performance on older street-based caliper systems can vary due to inherent caliper drag. However, this is a common challenge for all high-performance brake materials in those applications.
