Bluestuff is an entry-level track day and race pad with good street manners and is R90 approved for street driving. There are two compounds within the Bluestuff range Bluestuff NDX with higher friction of 0.52 Mu and new Bluestuff B with lower friction of 0.42 Mu.

However, Bluestuff has excellent cold friction and controllability, so this compound has quickly become the brake pad of choice for performance road car drivers in the USA and Asia markets where R90 homologation does not apply. More recently, EBC is pleased to announce that Bluestuff has passed extensive road-focused testing and gained R90 approval on almost all part numbers, making it unique in being the first genuinely track-focused pad that is also perfectly legal for use on public roads across Europe. There is no requirement for E.U. customers to inform their insurance company following the fitment of R90-approved pads.

For customers with experience with EBC’s widely acclaimed Yellowstuff material, Bluestuff boasts a similar friction profile but with a usefully higher friction coefficient across the now more extensive working range, feeling much like you’d imagine Yellowstuff to feel after a double hit of espresso. Bluestuff has the added benefit of much faster bed in time and a high friction coefficient without feeling grabby, taking things up a notch from EBC’s Yellowstuff material by bringing superb pedal modulation to a trackpad and even greater fade resistance.

Lifetime

ALWAYS inspect pads every 30 laps and discard when the friction material is down to one-eighth of an inch or 3mm to avoid fading. In street use, the lifetime is considerable – 20,000 miles and upwards can be expected, even when driving hard.
