EBC 10-13 Audi A3 2.0T Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads

The Bluestuff NDX material in these EBC rear brake pads offers a high-friction compound that's a step up for aggressive street driving and even some track use. They've been developed with a chemical interlayer for a super strong bond between the pad material and the backing plate, which helps ensure consistent performance. You'll notice a strong initial bite right from cold, and a progressive feel that makes bringing your car to a smooth, complete stop easier, even with aftermarket multi-piston calipers. Plus, the deep V-grooves are designed to catch dirt and dust while also improving venting, helping to keep your rotors from getting scored and extending the life of the pads.

These pads are built to last, offering almost double the lifetime of previous EBC products, and they're easy on your rotors, leaving the surface smooth. They've even earned ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval, meaning they meet strict European standards for performance and safety. While they perform exceptionally well on performance-oriented caliper systems, it's worth noting that older street-based caliper systems with inherent drag might present challenges for any high-performance pad material, including these.
