The EBC BBK016RED-1 Apollo Balanced Big Brake Kit represents a comprehensive braking upgrade designed to deliver significant reductions in stopping distances for both street and track use. This complete system replaces your factory front brake calipers and rotors with high-performance components while also upgrading the rear brake pads and brake lines for optimal balance across the entire vehicle.
Front Brake Components:
- Apollo-4 four-piston brake calipers in red finish (BC4104RED)
- Fully floating two-piece rotors with 355mm diameter swept groove design
- 32mm front rotor thickness, 30mm rear measurement
- EBC Yellowstuff performance brake pads for front calipers
- Stainless steel braided brake lines for improved pedal feel
Apollo Caliper Construction:
- Machined from heat-treated low-pressure aluminum castings for superior strength
- Two-piece bolted design reinforced with high-tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts
- Lightweight hard-anodized aluminum pistons with staggered sizes to eliminate uneven pad wear
- Serrated piston noses reduce heat transfer into hydraulic system
- 100% stainless steel hardware including crossover pipe and hydraulic fittings
- High-temperature PTFE polyester coating that won't fade or crack like powder coating
- Single-bolt pad retention system for quick pad changes
Rear Brake Components:
- EBC Yellowstuff brake pads designed to fit original rear calipers
- Stainless steel braided brake lines for rear axle
Complete Balanced System:
Unlike typical big brake kits that only upgrade the front axle, this balanced kit includes matching rear brake pads and braided lines for both front and rear. This ensures optimal brake balance across the entire vehicle, allowing the rear axle to share the braking load for improved control and shorter overall stopping distances.
Yellowstuff Brake Pad Technology:
- Excellent cold bite with zero brake noise for street driving
- Operating temperature range up to 550°C for track use without fade
- Extremely low metal content - kind on rotors and produces minimal dust
- ECE R90 approved for safety and reliability
- Easy-to-clean brake dust wipes off with damp cloth
Fully Floating Rotor Design:
The two-piece fully floating rotors allow the cast iron rotor ring to expand independently of the aluminum hub, preventing disc cracking and ensuring reliable performance under the most demanding driving conditions. All drive bobbins are machined from stainless steel for maximum strength and corrosion resistance.
