EBC Apollo Front Road Big Brake Kit Mazda MX5 NC 2005-2015

Balanced Brake Kits™ Engineered, Manufactured and assembled 100% in the UK. EBC Brakes brand new range of high performance 4-piston & 6-piston brake callipers are built from the highest quality materials without compromise, making them the ultimate performance and aesthetic upgrade for drivers demanding the highest level of braking, whether on road or on track. Unlike most other “big brake kits” which only supply parts for a single axle, every front EBC Balanced Brake Kit ™ is supplied complete with matching friction rear pads and stainless steel braided rear brake lines at zero additional cost to you, making it the first truly balanced out-of-the-box brake caliper upgrade package. The philosophy is simple: more hardware, more performance.

All EBC Big Brake kits include: Brake discs & bells, braided brake lines, mounting brackets, brake pads & brake fluid.

Apollo brake calipers utilise a 2-piece bolted design, incorporating high tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section. Computer FEA analysis shows that the utilisation of high-tensile steel bolts to reinforce the bridge brings significant improvements in 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 aluminium 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. Low pressure casting is a vastly more expensive production method than conventional gravity casting, but by forcing the aluminium alloy into the mould under pressure the consistency of the finished part is greatly improved.
