Build repeatable pedal response for fast-road and short track sessions
EBC Brakes DP52298NDX combines strong cold response with the heat capacity needed for demanding street driving and short trackday sessions. Its 206 mm front-pad profile is application-specific, so the caliper color, body style, engine, and rotor configuration must be checked before installation.

FAQ
What is the DP52298NDX?It is an EBC Bluestuff NDX front-axle brake pad set for the listed Mercedes-Benz AMG GT and C63 AMG applications with the required caliper and rotor configuration.
Is this pad set for the front or rear axle?It is a complete front-axle set. It is not a rear brake pad set.
Which calipers must the AMG GT applications have?The manufacturer fitment table specifies silver front calipers for the listed AMG GT applications. Caliper color and shape should be confirmed before ordering.
Does this set fit both one-piece and two-piece C63 rotors?EBC lists C63 AMG applications with both one-piece and two-piece floating front rotor configurations. The body code, year, engine, caliper, and rotor package still need to match the fitment table.
Are brake pad shims included?Yes. Shims are included with the pad set, while general installation hardware and the electronic wear sensor are not included.
Can these pads be used on the street?Bluestuff NDX is intended for fast-road and trackday use and works from cold. Road approval varies by vehicle and market, so local requirements and the current EBC approval listing must be checked.
How should these pads be bedded in?Install them against flat, serviceable rotors and follow the current EBC bedding instructions. Braking demand should be increased progressively in a safe environment while monitoring pedal feel and temperature.
What warranty applies to this pad set?EBC covers automotive disc brake pads against material or workmanship defects for 12 months or 10,000 highway miles. Normal wear, brake noise, labor, ancillary costs, and competition or track use are excluded.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm the vehicle, year, engine, body code, front caliper color, and rotor configuration against the fitment table before removing any parts.
- Inspect both front calipers, rotors, hoses, fluid, mounting hardware, and the separate wear sensor; repair worn or damaged components before pad installation.
- Replace the pads across the complete front axle, seat the supplied shims correctly, and do not reuse incompatible original shims or hardware.
- Complete installation using the vehicle manufacturer's torque values and the current EBC fitting and safety instructions.
- Bed the pads progressively on safe roads, then inspect pad wear frequently during track use and replace them before friction material reaches EBC's service limit.
