Nice review sir! I don't know if you remember me talking with you and Brian (Bassicfun) about brake setups last year around this time? I did end up going with the EBC Bluestuff pads also & have around 7k street driven miles on them with some aggressive back road driving as well. Unfortunately I have yet to do an autox/road course event with them, hopefully soon though. I do enjoy these pads, good cold bite and even better bite when they start getting heated up. I can only imagine how well they are going to bite when I get them really heated up at an autox/road course event. The only complaint I have is they do throw off a bit of brake dust, and if you have anything but black or grey wheels you may notice it quickly. But overall I am happy I decided to give them a try and purchase them...

 

Thanks! Sure do remember!

Exactly right. Cold bite is there (as compared to Hawk HT-10s (no bite until hot)) and more bite as heat increases.

 

Thanks again for your knowledge sir...

 

 

Thanks as always for the referral sir

 

Any updated review now that you ran them at Mid-Ohio?

 

For NASA-TT I run the SVTF on YellowStuff. BlueStuff are on my Mustang for AX. Don't know if I am going to track the car this year. Busy with TT.

 

Ahhh forgot that. Thought you put the Blues on the SVT.

 

Maybe next time. Right now Yellows have been great on her!

 

I melted a set of Yellows on track. Granted, it was 95 degrees ambient, so probably 105 on track... but still. I'd definitely choose the Blues over the Yellows after having autocrossed and tracked on both.

 

I'd like to add a big thumbs up for the bluestuff for track AND street use. I've suffered from a lack of confidence in my pads on the track for several years (Hawk HPS, HP+) and noisey, rotor chewing on the street (above plus Hawk blue). I thought the Racing Brake 800s were going to do it, but I wore a set of new ones down to the metal in two and a half 30 minute sessions at Barber. No doubt I'm very hard on brakes; I probably over-slow the car. But, the EBC Bluestuff performed very well in recent weekends at Rd Atlanta and Sebring. I was comfortable working them hard, even with a passenger in most sessions. Things got quite hot, as the rotors were heat checked after Rd Atl, but I had no fade the next week at Sebring. Seems to be plenty of pad left and rotors look OK. Another BIG PLUS is that Perfect Brakes (online) gave me a free set of rear pads with the purchase of fronts, and the fronts were priced lower than other options I looked at. (This offer is for NASA and SCCA racers and HPDEs; click the link for NASA/SCCA, and enter your member or racer number.) I've been using them on the street for about a month since being on track, and they make zero noise and perform just fine (maybe require more pedal pressure).

 

Any body else run these pads, it's been a while since the last post

 

Just received mine in the mail. Hope to get a review but wont be for a few months.

 

Still running them. Still loving them.

 

picked up a set for my X, like them so far. used them at njmp thunderbolt in feb and performed well.
