EBC Brakes Pad and Disc Kit (PD14KR309) (Rear)

EBC Bluestuff Pads

• Rotor Condition

  • Ensuring rotors are in near-perfect flat condition is crucial, as uneven, grooved, or ribbed surfaces can triple bed-in times for both street and track use.
  • EBC Yellowstuff is a harder, more durable pad, requiring smooth rotors for optimal performance.
  • If resurfacing is needed, EBC strongly recommends using high-quality ON-CAR brake lathes from Pro-Cut for the best results.

• Pad Lifetime

  • Track Use: Inspect pads every 30 laps and replace them when the friction material reaches 3mm (1/8 inch) to prevent brake fade.
  • Street Use: Expect a significantly longer lifespan—20,000 miles or more, even under aggressive driving conditions.

• Cooling & Caliper Drag

  • Simply installing a race pad does not instantly make a street brake system track-ready.
  • Additional cooling ducts may be necessary to prevent excessive heat buildup and extend pad and rotor life during racing conditions.

• Using Bluestuff NDX as a Street-Only Pad

  • In Europe, brake pads must meet ECE R90 certification for legal road use.
  • Bluestuff is not R90 approved for all vehicles—check approval status before using it on public roads.

Partnered with GD Turbogroove Dimpled and Slotted Discs

EBC pioneered the dimple drilled rotor in the 1990s a design that has been widely imitated for its ability to provide pad degassing without the need for through-drilled holes, which are known to increase the risk of rotor cracks.

The rotors feature wide aperture slots that actively draw cool air into the interface between the brake pad and rotor, effectively reducing temperatures during heavy braking. This cooling is crucial, as temperatures at the pad contact can exceed 1000 degrees, potentially leading to brake fade or a loss of braking effectiveness.

EBC GD Series sport rotors are entirely machined in the United Kingdom using R90-certified blanks, with most of these blanks cast in the EU. They offer an excellent solution for fast street cars and 4×4 vehicles. Now in their third generation, the rotors feature silver corrosion protection, while the wide aperture slots promote uniform pad wear, maintain cooler operating temperatures, and efficiently expel dirt, mud, water, and dust from the braking area.
