EBC Bluestuff gets thumbs up at speed on Impreza
As some of you know Tyron received a set of Bluestuff pads off EBC Brake to test the compound. So to give the pads a good and fair test we headed for the A4069.From cold the pads offered great initial bite with great feel and the results just got better as the temperature increased.
Finally got some brake fade on them but this was a result of heavy braking into and very fast complex of bends on the top of the A4069. It wasn’t the usual brake fade either it was more of a progressive and predictable fade as the disk and pads went above there operating window. After a slow and steady decline to the hairpin the AP calipers, disks and EBC brakes pads returned to there normal operating temperatures and it was service as normal.
On the return pass over the A4069 the brakes were far more predictable with regards to fade and this would only occur after the fast sweeping section before heading into the last twisty technical section.
Would I use these pads on my Ra?
Yes I would, for all round use they are a great choice.
Becoming a great pad for track time or maybe a spirited drive over your local A road or mountain pass.

This car is owner by me and I let my friend Dylan take it for a test drive as he’s a better driver than me and would ensure the Bluestuff Pads received a proper test of their ability.
I have to say these pads are by some distance the best on the market, it is just a pity that not all cars come equipped with a set of Bluestuff pads. 10/10 
And I made the brake discs : ) http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk , I have these pads on test on two of our cars and agree that they are very good
This is my write up after testing the EBC blue stuff pads in a Spec C running AP 6 pot calipers and Brembo rears.
Fantastic pad compound and a Fantastic Car
