Product Description

Upgrade your McLaren MP4‑12C’s front brakes with EBC Bluestuff pads — a high‑friction, semi-race pad engineered to deliver strong, responsive stopping power whether on the street or during spirited driving. Bluestuff combines excellent cold‑bite with race‑ready fade resistance, making it a perfect street‑legal pad for drivers who occasionally hit the track or enjoy aggressive road driving. Because the pads come pre‑“heat‑scorched” from the factory, bedding‑in time is drastically reduced — giving you confident braking performance almost immediately after installation. If you want a pad that bridges the gap between street comfort and track‑day capability, Bluestuff offers a superb balance of bite, modulation, and rotor‑friendliness.

Fitment Notes

  • Designed specifically for front brakes on McLaren MP4‑12C 3.8 Twin Turbo, both coupe and Spider variants (approx. 2010–2014).

  • Suitable for stock front calipers and rotors — no modifications required. 

  • Good for daily driving and occasional track or spirited driving sessions; not a full‑on race‑only pad.

Included

  • Full set of front brake pads (left and right) for both front calipers. 

  • All necessary hardware/shims as required for correct installation (as per EBC standard pad kit)

Product Specs

  • Compound: Semi‑race aramid‑fiber / high‑friction “Bluestuff NDX” pad material. 

  • Friction coefficient (approx.): 0.52–0.60 µ (stable across operating temperature range) — significantly higher than most OEM street pads. 

  • Operating temperature range: Effective cold and stable up to extreme temperatures (~1000 °F / 540 °C) — ideal for demanding braking conditions.

  • Surface preparation: Pads are factory “heat‑scorched” (pre‑bedded) for fastest possible break‑in.

Product Features

  • Strong cold‑bite + consistent high‑temperature performance: Provides confident braking from the first pedal press, and remains stable under repeated heavy braking or track use.

  • Rapid bed‑in — minimal break‑in required: Factory heat‑scorch process means the pads are ready for use almost immediately after install, reducing hassle and downtime. 

  • Excellent fade resistance and thermal stability: Maintains consistent stopping power even under high heat — important for back‑to‑back track laps or aggressive driving sessions. 

  • Balanced street + track performance: Offers a sweet spot between everyday drivability (with acceptable noise and modulation) and track‑capable braking — ideal for McLaren owners who drive daily but also push their cars.

  • Rotor‑friendly and durable compound: Semi‑race aramid‑based friction material reduces rotor wear compared with aggressive metallic pads, while still delivering strong braking force.
