Description
The EBC Bluestuff Front Brake Pads are engineered for drivers who demand near-race braking performance with full street legality. Designed for the BMW 135i and 135is 3.0L Twin Turbo, these pads deliver aggressive stopping power, exceptional fade resistance, and precise pedal modulation under extreme driving conditions.
Bluestuff sits above Yellowstuff in EBC’s lineup, offering significantly higher friction and heat capacity, making it ideal for track days, canyon driving, and high-power street builds. The advanced semi-race aramid fiber compound provides strong cold bite for street use while maintaining consistent braking torque at temperatures exceeding 1000°F (540°C).
Unlike full race pads, Bluestuff remains road legal, allowing you to drive to and from the track without compromise. The compound’s progressive friction curve enhances control during trail braking and repeated heavy deceleration, while maintaining predictable pedal feel lap after lap.
Each set is factory scorched for fast bed-in and features EBC’s center slot and chamfered edges to improve heat management, reduce vibration, and control noise. Rotor wear is moderate and appropriate for a pad designed for sustained high-temperature operation.
