The EBC BBK057BLU-1 is a front Balanced Big Brake Kit featuring blue-anodized Apollo-6 six-piston calipers and oversized 380mm two-piece fully-floating rotors. Engineered as a complete braking system upgrade, this kit delivers a significant reduction in stopping distances for both street and track driving.
Unlike conventional big brake kits that only address the front axle, EBC's Balanced Big Brake Kit includes matching Yellowstuff™ brake pads for the rear axle at no additional cost, ensuring optimal brake bias and balanced stopping performance across all four corners.
Apollo-6 Caliper Features:
- Lightweight aluminum 6-piston caliper body machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings for superior consistency over gravity-cast alternatives
- Two-piece bolted caliper design reinforced with high-tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts for improved caliper bridge stiffness
- Lightweight aluminum hard-anodized pistons with staggered sizing to prevent uneven pad wear
- Serrated piston nose design reduces heat transfer into the hydraulic system under heavy braking
- 100% stainless steel hardware including crossover pipe, hydraulic fittings, and pad retention bolt
- Single-bolt pad retention system for fast and easy pad changes
Rotor Features:
- Oversized 380mm two-piece fully-floating rotors included as standard — no premium upgrade required
- Cast iron rotor rings float independently of the hub, preventing disc cracking under extreme heat
- All disc rings cast using the centre-split casting method for a balanced, distortion-resistant rotor
- Unique swept-groove slot design evacuates braking dust and gases while maintaining strong initial bite
- Disc bell and caliper brackets machined from aerospace-grade billet aluminum
Complete Kit Includes:
- Blue-anodized Apollo-6 front brake calipers
- 380mm fully-floating two-piece front rotors
- EBC Yellowstuff™ front brake pads
- Matching EBC Yellowstuff™ rear brake pads for the factory rear calipers
- Stainless steel braided brake lines — front and rear
- EBC BF307+ Super DOT 4 brake fluid (307°C dry boiling point)
- All mounting hardware, brackets, bolts, washers, and spacers
- Vehicle-specific installation documentation
The included EBC BF307+ Super DOT 4 brake fluid features a 307°C boiling point — significantly higher than standard DOT 5.1 — providing outstanding endurance during extended hard driving without the risk of fluid boil and brake fade. Stainless steel braided brake lines are manufactured in the UK, 100% pressure tested after assembly, and carry DOT, ISO, and TUV approval with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and corrosion.
The EBC BBK057BLU-1 is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking a proven, professionally engineered performance brake system that provides a firmer pedal feel, reduced stopping distances, and reliable fade-free performance on both public roads and the track.
