EBC Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads McLaren MP4-12C

Upgrade your MP4‑12C’s rear brakes with EBC Bluestuff pads — a semi‑race, high‑friction pad engineered to deliver strong, consistent stopping power from cold through high temperatures. Bluestuff’s aramid‑based compound gives aggressive initial bite and progressive, stable braking under repeated hard stops, making it ideal for spirited driving, canyon runs, or occasional track use. Because these pads come factory “heat‑scorched” (pre‑bedded), bedding‑in time is minimal — letting you hit the road or track almost immediately after install. If you want rear braking that matches the performance potential of your McLaren while remaining street usable, Bluestuff offers a premium balance of power, control, and rotor‑friendliness.

Fitment Notes

• Compatible with McLaren MP4‑12C 3.8 Twin Turbo — both coupe and Spider variants (approx. years 2012‑2014).

• Intended for the stock rear calipers/rotor setup as used on MP4‑12C — no modifications required. 

• Suitable for spirited street driving, canyon runs, or light track/track‑day use; ideal for drivers who want a strong dual‑purpose pad rather than a dedicated race‑only pad.

Included

• One full set of rear brake pads (left and right wheels) for MP4‑12C rear calipers. 

• Pads come pre‑scorched (“heat‑scorched”) from factory to minimize bed‑in time and ensure ready‑to‑go braking performance.

Product Specs

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

• Operating temperature range: Effective from cold, stable up to ~1000 °F (≈ 540 °C) under load — suitable for heavy braking and track stresses.

• Friction Coefficient (µ): approximately 0.52–0.60 µ, offering strong fade resistance and consistent braking force through a wide thermal range.

• Pad‑to‑backing‑plate bonding: Uses EBC’s chemical interlayer / bonding system to ensure pad integrity under high stress/repeated braking.

Product Features

• Strong cold‑bite with race‑grade stopping power: Bluestuff gives aggressive first‑touch braking even when cold — important for street driving and initial stops. 

• Consistent pedal feel and fade resistance under high heat: Maintains stable friction through repeated heavy stops or track‑style braking situations. 

• Minimal bed‑in required — ready almost immediately: Factory‑scorched pads mean you don’t need prolonged bedding‑in — ideal for timely installs and immediate use. 

• Balanced rotor‑friendliness and pad longevity: The aramid fiber compound is designed to reduce rotor wear and extend pad life — a good match for expensive McLaren rear rotors.

• Dual‑purpose suitability (street & occasional track): Bluestuff bridges the gap — giving more bite and control than OEM pads while remaining manageable on the street, perfect for MP4‑12C owners who drive daily but occasionally push the limits.
