EBC 86-89 Mazda RX7 2.4 (1.3 Rotary)(Vented Rear Rotors) Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads

If you're looking to get more out of your Mazda RX-7's braking system, especially for spirited driving or track days, these EBC Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are a solid choice. They're designed to give you a strong, progressive feel at the pedal, which is crucial when you need to slow down quickly and confidently. The material is built for high friction, meaning it grips the rotor effectively, and it's even street-legal under ECE R90 regulations.

What's really neat about these pads is their ability to perform well even when cold, which isn't always the case with performance pads. They also feature deep V-grooves that help clear out dust and debris, keeping the pad surface clean and improving airflow to the rotor. EBC has also incorporated a chemical interlayer to ensure a super strong bond between the pad material and the backing plate, which helps with longevity and consistent performance. Plus, they're designed to be easier on your rotors compared to some other aggressive compounds, leaving the rotor surface smoother.

While these pads are a significant step up for aggressive street use and track days, it's worth noting that with older street-based caliper systems, any high-performance pad can face challenges due to caliper drag or pad size limitations. However, EBC has put a lot of work into making Bluestuff NDX a versatile option that balances track capability with street drivability.
