Honda Civic Gen 8/9/10/11 EBC Bluestuff Brake Pads for Wunderladen Racing Big Brake Kit
These are replacement pads for the Wunderladen Racing big brake kit for the 8-11th generation Honda Civic.
These are for our non Type R big brake kit.
Bluestuff NDX is a high friction sport and race material that can be used for aggressive street driving and certain types of track use. The material has had much success on the track with quality aftermarket calipers (Multi piston systems with better release and cooling and larger rotors) and limited success with street based calipers where pad size and caliper drag can challenge any brake material. The biggest advantage of EBC Bluestuff NDX is their bite from cold and progressive brake feel and the ability to bring a car to a complete stop. This has led to the ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval of R90 which is now completed and certificates are being obtained (during July 2011). There are certain older street based caliper systems where even the new Bluestuff will have trouble handling the caliper and slider drag inherent in the systems but this scenario is exactly the same for our competitors. There is NO material that will be PERFECT on the track in all older street based caliper systems.
Customer Reviews
As stated in the title I believe these are a good choice for track use ONLY. They are very dusty, hard on the rotors and squeaky for everyday driving. In my humble opinion the Redstuff is a much more practical choice for both fast street driving and track days. One could make the argument that Redstuff pads are all you need on the street or track for the 11th Gen Civic w/ the big brake kit! The bite is good on Bluestuff but not gaining much over Redstuff.
I rate them 3-star not because they are bad pads but rather because they are bad for this particular vehicle/setup in my opinion.
