The gate just after the slalom C box was one you had to roll over both wheels to fit though. Very tight fit.

Not surprised, most of those courses are designed by Miata and Honduh drivers. :P

Yeah, course was designed by an old Escort GT in FSP that took 1st in PAX. Funny how the guys who make the course seem to get PAX too.

You seem to keep leaving out that tidbit about how I beat you in your own car at the autocross

I won't let that go until you do the same in whatever car I get in the future

EBC BlueStuff NDX Review

This is for the Evo X and 8/9 guys too. My Mustang weighs in at ~34xx lbs. Puts me right in the weight range of the CT9A and X platforms.

Last week I had to the time to install my EBC BlueStuff NDX pads along with my suspension. Drove car for 4 days lightly around town/work before bedding the pads with speed/heat.

My Mustang package came stock with OEM Performance Friction street pads (not Z-Rated, but a compound between full street and the Zs). An upgrade over the OEM base pads. But still left the driver lacking great cold bite and response.

The NDX pads are designed for street and track usage for heavier platforms. Meant to give the driver cold bite and progressive feel for cars that need to come to a complete stop (v. aggressive speed scrubbing without stops (eg track day)). With driver my Mustang is in the 36xx range. NDX is the perfect application for the Mustang.

For those wondering about the YellowStuffs, I run YellowStuff pads on my Time Trial SVT Focus. Its a much lighter car (2815 with driver).

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ow-review.html

These NDX pads deliver exactly what they promise. Great cold bite and more bite as the you work heat into the system.

Here is an autocross running the NDX pads:

Some squeak after pads got hot. Zero noise on the street unless I really heat them up (like AX). Dust is was low and easily washed off after the autocross. In the 5 days post event. I have yet to clean the wheels. Dust is lower on street use.

In the autocross, pads had bite and consistency throughout the day. With a co-driver and ambient heat in the 90s (course temps in the 100s) there was zero fade after 12-15 autocross runs. Co-driver took 3rd in PAX and I took 4th. We both noted that you could brake late with confidence. Positive pedal pressures with smooth release.

Still finding that the EBC pads have been keeping their promise and delivering across multiple car types and racing. Very happy to run them.

Sounds great, I am overdue to get my write up to EBC as well on these... and a National Tour win, to 1-up your local PAX-age. :P

Agreed on the EBC pads. They did a great job of stopping the boat on the course and were still very nice on the street. They're a bit dusty and mildly squeaky but that's to be expected of an aggressive pad. Overall I've become a huge fan of EBC, having run their brakes on my (sold) Ralliart for years, both redstuff and yellowstuff, and also have them on my Tacoma. About to order a set of greenstuff for my wife's Civic, as well.

If that was true, my SVTF would have 500 torques

Same here. Actually on every car I own SVTF - Yellows. Ralliart - Yellow and Red. Mustang - Blue.
