EBC Racing’s Big Brake Kit represents the ultimate braking upgrade, replacing the vehicle’s original front brake calipers with high performance multi‐piston alternatives and replacing the original brake disc with a fully‐floating oversize 2‐piece version.

EBC Racing Big Brake Kits come with fully‐floating 2‐piece discs as standard, whereas many competitor kits use 2‐piece bolted assembly or demand a hefty premium to upgrade to floating discs. Floating 2‐piece discs allow the cast iron rotor ring to float independently of the hub, preventing disc cracking and leading to reliable performance even when subjected to the most demanding driving conditions.

EBC Racing Big Brake Kits come with everything you need in the box and detailed installation instructions, including race spec brake fluid for the final system bleed. EBC Racing Big Brake Kits provide a hassle‐free way of totally transforming your vehicle's braking performance and are available in a variety of caliper colour options to suit any aesthetic preference.

Apollo-Series 4-Piston Calipers

  • EBC’s lightweight-yet-strong aluminium 4-piston brake caliper
  • Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design)
  • Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging)
  • Rather than a powder-coated finish, all Apollo calipers use an advanced high-temperature Teflon™ polyester coating process to ensure they look great for much longer. Currently available in Stealth Black, Storm Shadow Blue, Luminous Yellow and Racing Red

Fully-Floating Two-Piece Discs

  • Fully-floating 330x28mm two-piece discs that allow the outer ring to expand freely in response to heat (this reduces stress which in turn extends disc life and reduces the tendency for disc cracking during extreme use)
  • Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance (this reduces maintenance requirements and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely over time)
  • Disc rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved cooling
  • Unique ‘Swept Groove’ slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application
  • Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish – the very latest in rust prevention

Yellowstuff™ Performance Brake Pads

  • Every EBC Apollo Big Brake Kit is supplied with EBC Yellowstuff™ pads for the front axle
  • Excellent cold bite and minimal brake noise make them a great pad for road use, yet they are also capable of operating without brake fade up to 550°C, making them an equally outstanding pad for moderate track use

Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

  • Every kit is supplied with EBC Brakes’ stainless-steel braided brake lines for the front axle
  • Every hose has a stainless-steel braided exterior that prevents a phenomenon known as ‘ballooning’, this braided exterior prevents the spongey feel of OE rubber lines and provides greater precision and feel under braking

Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

  • Every kit is supplied with 1 litre of BF307+ super DOT 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a 310°C boiling point – a significantly higher boiling point than standard DOT 5.1 fluid
  • Having such a high boiling point gives the braking system exceptional endurance, allowing you to push hard for extended periods without heat soak causing the fluid to boil and resulting in fade
