EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads

If you're looking to step up your braking game for both spirited street driving and occasional track days, EBC Brakes Bluestuff NDX pads are a solid option for your 1968-1993 Chevrolet Caprice. These pads are designed with a high-friction compound that gives you a strong initial bite, even when cold, and a progressive feel that helps you bring the car to a smooth, complete stop. They've seen a lot of success on the track, especially when paired with aftermarket multi-piston calipers that offer better release and cooling.

What sets Bluestuff NDX apart is its ability to perform well on the street and the track. They feature a unique chemical interlayer that creates a super strong bond between the pad material and the backing plate, which helps with longevity. The deep V-grooves aren't just for looks; they help catch dirt and dust, improving venting and keeping your rotors cleaner and smoother. You can expect almost double the life compared to previous EBC pad designs, and they're made to be easy on your rotors, leaving the surface smooth without scoring.

While these pads are built for performance, it's worth noting that with older street-based caliper systems, caliper drag can sometimes be a challenge for any high-performance pad material. However, EBC has worked to ensure these pads offer great release and cooling characteristics. They've even earned ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval, which is a notable achievement for a pad with this level of performance.
