EBC Brakes Bluestuff NDX brake pads and GD sport rotors were installed on a Mustang GT in a Week To Wicked presentation on episode five of the popular Mustang news and reviews channel. The car brake products that comprise an EBC S6 brake kit were installed on the Mustang GT on the show.
The Mustang360° Week To Wicked show was presented by Mark Houlihan on 19th January 2018 in association with Muscle Mustangs, Fast Forward magazine and the Mustang360.com network. On The Week To Wicked program a stock ride car is used in the build to create a highly modified street thumper in just five days. The ingot silver coloured 2013 Mustang GT was purchased from Florida with 81,974 miles on the clock, a low milage considering the car has been on the road for five years.
The build began on January 15th 2018 and there were daily video updates, which also included some FaceBook live sessions (www.facebook.com/mustangmonthlymag), where you get a behind the scenes look at the build, video segments and a gallery, which is also hosted on the Mustang-360.com website.
The EBC Brakes’ direct fit S6 kit includes GD Sport rotors which have a thermic black coating for a long lasting, corrosion resistant finish. The rotors are dimple-drilled to help with pad degassing and the slots not only help cool the temperatures of the pad contact but help remove dirt, dust, debris and water from the braking area and help maintain a flat pad surface of the brake pad set.
For pads, the Mustang GT was fitted with EBC’s Bluestuff NDX race pad range. These are excellent for track applications, a huge advantage is their ability to bite from cold and the progressive brake feel and the capacity to bring a car to a complete stop.

EBC Brakes Bluestuff Brake Pads
EBC Bluestuff NDX Brake Pads are perfect for racing all sorts of cars and automotive sports in general as they are extremely high in friction and made from NDX formula material that is specifically designed for aggressive driving conditions such as those found on hard surfaced race tracks. When twinned with specific quality aftermarket calipers Bluestuff brake pad NDX formula has the most efficient success rate.
EBC Brakes GD Sports Brake Discs/Rotors
EBC GD Series brake disc rotors are now available in a Black thermic and NITROTHERM™ finish and feature wide aperture slots that draw cool air under the brake pad and rotor interface which help cool the temperature of the brake pad contact that can easily and often shoot up to well over 1000 degrees during heavy braking and can cause brake fade or loss of brake effect – the cool effective use of the slots helps prevent this.
EBC Brakes Yellowstuff Brake Pads
EBC Yellowstuff brake pads are ultra high friction brake pads for race, trackday and street use, race drivers in particular love them because they are made from an aramid fibre compound. These pads are ideal for street and track driving as they don’t require a warm up but get even stronger under hard driving.
EBC Brakes Orangestuff Brake Pads
EBC Orangestuff brake pads have a longer wear life by up to 40-60% and a very effective initial bite. Another advantage of these unique brake pads is that they offer better fade resistance on rotors even when the disc temperatures are high and the discs glow red.
EBC Brakes Redstuff Ceramic Brake Pads
Redstuff Ceramic Brake Pads is a harder compound which takes longer to fully bed in to achieve the highest levels of performance during which time the odd brake noise may be heard when starting from cold in damp conditions at walking speed.
One press of the pedal will clear the rotor of any dampness and this leaves EBC Redstuff Ceramic as a pad that inspires confidence in all car users. The motto is be patient to give the pads a full chance to bed down properly.
EBC Brakes Greenstuff Brake Pads
The latest version of Greenstuff Brake Pads is an intentionally softer brake compound designed to improve the pedal feel on lighter cars at low speeds. This results in a medium dust material with good lifetime and minimal rotor wear.
EBC Brakes Ultimax2™ Brake Pads
The radically improved Ultimax2™ is a fully ECO friendly material that has ZERO sulphides. The Ultimax2 formula does not require shims for noise reduction and has more bite from cold.
These brake pads also work well in hot dry climates too! As with the original Ultimax these too are fully R90 approved.
EBC Brakes USR Slotted Brake Discs/Rotors
EBC Ultimax Slotted USR Brake Rotors are manufactured using premium disc blanks. These rotors benefit from quiet running which is all down to the narrower multi-slot design and the progressive angle at which the slots are machined.
This has the benefit of removing dirt, gas, water and debris and having the advantage of parallel pad wear.
EBC Brakes BSD Discs/Rotors
BSD (Blade Sports Discs) are made from a unique material known as “discalloy” for front and rear fitments.
The blade slot design is specially crafted to remove hot gases in an efficient way to help keep brake pads cooler and flatter. The multiple slots overlap to reduce the brake wind sound.
EBC Brakes Premium Discs/Rotors
Premium brake rotors are made fome the highest quality sourced materials and are the perfect OEM replacement brake disc rotor for any automotive vehicle for street use and daily driving.
ISO approved to the highest spec and also apprived by the German TUV authorities, these disc rotors are an affordable solution for all motorists.
EBC Brakes High Performance Brake Lines
EBC Brakes’ range of UK manufactured high performance braided steel brake lines are 100% pressure tested, guaranteed to be leak free and give a firmer, more responsive feel compared to rubber lines.
All of our brake lines not only meet our own stringent standards but they are also approved by TÜV, DOT, ADR and ISO.
