Bluestuff Brake Pads Automotive Race Driver Feedback – Review by Steve Wright

May 13, 2010

I did my first event with the new EBC Bluestuff brake pads. It was in a heavy rain and about 60 degrees outside. My 15yr old son (with his permit) and I co-drove my 07 MX5 on the auto-cross course. The brakes had good bite and you could really feel them getting better at about the last two corners. It was a tight course so not a lot of speed to get heat in the brake pads. I was very happy with them I placed first out of 10 cars in my class and had the 6TH fastest time of the day. I was 8TH in Index/Pax. My son did his best so far in the car and was only 4 seconds behind me for 6TH place in class.

We did a event with the Chicago Region of the SCCA. I have up-graded my shocks/struts to Koni’s so we where trying to dial them in this weekend. We did pretty good even through I was not happy with the cars handling, but the brakes where great! I was 16TH and my son Devin was 29TH out of 51 cars in the Open Street Tire Class. We where fighting a push all day. I think we could of been much faster than we were. The brakes on the other hand are just getting better every time I drive the car. Like you said, I don’t think they where bedded in yet but are really getting there. The bite cold is much better and they are easy to modulate.

We really love them. Thank you.
