Product Details
Apollo Balanced™ Slotted Brake Kit with YellowStuff Brake Pads by EBC®. EBC’s Apollo Balanced Brake Kit represents the ultimate upgrade in braking performance, offering significant reductions in stopping distances whether used on the road or track. It’s supplied with all the hardware to completely replace all equivalent components of your vehicle’s stock braking system, giving a firmer and responsive brake pedal feel and allowing you to drive harder for longer without the onset of brake fade.
Installation
The Balanced Brake Kit has been designed from the ground up to perform right down to the very last bleed nipple. It is designed for a full vehicle upgrade and is supplied complete with matching EBC’s flagship fast street and track Yellowstuff™ front and rear brake pads to fit the original caliper and braided brake lines for the front and rear, ensuring a totally balanced brake upgrade that delivers maximum braking performance. Every single brake caliper metal fitting and brake disc is manufactured from stainless steel, and each brake disc bell and caliper brackets are machined from aerospace grade billet aluminum for high strength and durability.
Apollo series brake calipers reflect the EBC philosophy of providing top-quality products at affordable prices. They utilize a 2-piece bolted design, incorporating high tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section. This significant improves caliper stiffness compared to a mono-block design. A stiffer bridge section means less elongation during brake apply, giving a firmer and more responsive pedal feel, especially after a period of harder braking where the aluminum bridge of a mono-block design caliper softens appreciably with increasing temperature.
Unlike the vast majority of cast calipers, which are typically gravity cast, Apollo Series caliper bodies are machined from heat treated low pressure castings, which gives EBC’s Apollo series brake calipers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging. Besides, every caliper is finished using the patented advanced high-temperature Teflon polyester coating process that gives a durable, fade resistant coating that’s easy to wipe clean and ensures that Apollo calipers will look great for years to come.
Yellowstuff™ pads offer excellent cold bite and zero brake noise making them a great pad for road use, yet they are also capable of operating without brake fade up to 550 degrees C, making them an equally outstanding pad for moderate track use. Yellowstuff™ material is ECE R90 approved giving you peace of mind that these pads will operate safely in all climates, at any vehicle speed and in all weather conditions. Braided stainless steel brake lines also add to the rigidity of the system, eliminating flex, giving a firmer pedal with better modulation.
