EBC | Bluenstuff Brake Pad 5000 Track Day Set | Focus MK2 ST225
Technical Data & Performance
Forged in British mills for the committed driver, the EBC Bluestuff 5000 Series is the "thinking racer's" hybrid pad. It bridges worlds with intelligent authority.
This isn't a pad of compromise, but of calculated translation. Its copper-free, Aramid-fibre heart is engineered to translate the ferocious demands of track lap timers into a language perfectly understood on the fastest street drives. The secret is a 30% elevation in intrinsic friction—a deeper, more authoritative grasp on the rotor that delivers stopping power with a confident, linear surge, not a snatch.
Pre-treated with heat to mimic a perfected bed-in state, it greets you with purposeful bite from the very first cold morning start, avoiding the wooden hesitation of true race compounds. Yet, its true character unfolds as temperatures rise, revealing a stability that laughs at the heat of lapping sessions. It’s the spec pad for a reason in street-based series, carrying full ECE R90 approval a badge of its rigorous, road-legal pedigree.
Clever engineering attends to the nuance: each pad is shimmed, chamfered, and slotted in a symphony of detail that orchestrates silent braking and fights vibration. While it arrives pre-scorched for a fast start, it asks for your partnership a careful, ritual bedding-in to align its spirit fully with your rotors before track deployment.
And then, there is its enduring grace. As the stablemate to the voracious Yellowstuff, Bluestuff earns devotion through remarkable longevity. It delivers its intense performance with a gentleman's agreement for reduced rotor wear and notably low dust, ensuring your pace is matched by poise and polish. This is performance that lasts, built for those who measure their thrill not just in peak moments, but in sustained, repeatable excellence.
