EBC Brakes DP52047NDX Bluestuff NDX Full Race Brake Pads for 14-22 I8 X3 X4

The EBC 14-20 BMW i8 Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads are high friction sport and race brake pads designed to enhance braking performance for aggressive street driving and select track applications. Constructed from Bluestuff NDX material, these pads provide excellent bite from cold and a progressive brake feel, ensuring reliable stopping power in demanding conditions. They are engineered to perform effectively on the track with quality aftermarket calipers, such as multi-piston systems with improved release and cooling, as well as larger rotors. While optimized for high-performance use, they are also suitable for spirited street driving, offering durability and consistent braking performance. The pads are designed to meet safety standards, including ECE R90 certification, ensuring compliance with brake safety regulations.

These brake pads are intended for 2014 to 2020 BMW i8 models and serve as a direct replacement for the rear brake pads. They are compatible with vehicles equipped with suitable caliper systems, though some older street-based calipers may experience challenges due to pad size and caliper drag, which is a common issue across many high-performance brake materials. These pads are ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved braking response on both the street and track, providing reliable performance under aggressive driving conditions. Installation is straightforward as a bolt-on upgrade, and the kit includes the necessary pads for the rear axle. They are best suited for track days, spirited driving, and high-performance street use.
