In 2021, competitors were required to use 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 bespoke four-piston Apollo caliper, fully-floating two-piece discs and RP-X track/race brake pads. The setup is similar for 2022, with the added option of using the all-new SR-11 sintered racing brake pads if desired.

The news comes after the recent announcement that .

Based around the acclaimed Mk7 Ford Fiesta ST, the BRSCC AIRTEC Motorsport Fiesta Championship offers affordable, close-knit racing at a number of prestigious British race circuits. There is also a more accessible Mk6 ST150-based class that races alongside the Mk7 class (the Mk6 cars are not required to use EBC鈥檚 big brake kits).

How are EBC calipers different and what do they do to eliminate excessive pad taper?

Staggered Pistons

Multi-piston brake calipers in the past frequently utilised the same-sized pistons in both leading and trailing positions, especially in 4-piston calipers. Multi-sized (staggered) pistons tended to only be implemented into 6-piston calipers (and above).

With calipers that are fitted with the same-sized leading and trailing pistons, you often will notice pad tapering, and this is further amplified when the vehicle is used for track days due to the pressure distribution between the leading and trailing edge of the caliper.

On all EBC Apollo series calipers, staggered pistons are incorporated which allow us to fine-tune the differential of pressure between the leading and trailing edge of the caliper. When a smaller diameter piston is used on the leading edge (the side where the rotating disc/rotor passes first), this ensures that the brake force is evenly distributed across the pad and thus combats pad tapering.

An example of this is our Apollo-4 (100 series) brake caliper, where the leading pistons are 38.1mm in diameter and the trailing piston sizes are 41.2mm in diameter 鈥� allowing us to shift the distribution of pressure more evenly. The reasoning behind the use of smaller-sized pistons at the leading edge and larger sized pistons at the trailing edge is that less pressure is applied to the smaller pistons (leading) and 聽more pressure can be delivered by the larger pistons (trailing), forcing the pistons to clamp the pad and thus the disc/rotor in such a way that will even out taper wear on the pads.

Unfortunately, it is near impossible to completely eradicate taper wear completely.

Sticking/Seized Pistons 鈥� How do We Combat This?

All EBC Apollo brake caliper bodies are initially hard-anodised for excellent corrosion resistance and extended caliper longevity. We then fit our lightweight hard-anodised aluminium pistons with serrated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics and finally top this off with high-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals, to give maximum protection against road grime and debris 鈥� all of this leads to a system that is well protected from the issue of seized pistons. However, it is key that on any braking system, preventative maintenance is always carried out, especially if the system is being used in a harsh environment or on track days and such like.

Leading vs Trailing Calipers (Caliper Handing and the Correct Fitment)

When fitting new Apollo series calipers, always check the hand of the caliper by observing the casting number machined into the piston face. Whether the caliper is right/left handed will be denoted at the end of the casting number, for example 鈥�4101R/6101R鈥�. (The left/right hand side of the vehicle is referenced to the driver sitting in the driver鈥檚 seat). The disc/rotor must also always pass the smaller diameter (leading) piston first.

The caliper orientation must always be such that the bleed nipples point up with the fluid cross-over pipe at the bottom. Calipers not installed close to the vertical may present a problem during bleeding.

Non-EBC Caliper Pad Taper

If you are not planning to change calipers to something with better engineering, you may get some benefits by using a pad with a one-ended chamfer on the friction material, which essentially moves the centre of effort and can help reduce or prevent taper.

91传媒 has introduced this for various applications to combat pad taper. For more information, please email raceinfo@ebcbrakes.com.

Once again, the series requires all cars (Fiesta ST240 class) to be equipped with 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 Apollo Big Brake Kit, this year with the option of running either RP-X or the all-new SR-11 sintered racing brake pads.

The 91传媒 team was on-hand in the pits to discuss technical queries with the race teams as the first competitive event of the year unfolded 鈥� stay tuned for a full report soon.

鈥淚 purchased my ST150 in April 2021 as an investment due to how the car industry is moving towards electric power. I have always wanted a low-mileage ST150, so jumped at the opportunity when I could. The car was purchased to be enjoyed for shows and on some track days, as it is only used for pleasure.

鈥淎s soon as the EBC BBK [big brake kit] was installed, you could feel the difference. Within two weeks of having the kit I had to use the full stoping power it delivers to stop me making a four-car pileup into five-car pileup. I have never felt a car stop so quick and well in my life until that moment. Not long becoming a dad, the BBK has filled with me so much confidence as I know even on the road it delivers.

鈥淚鈥檝e now bedded in the brakes and the response you get is spot on. I am yet to take it out on track which will happen this year and I look forward to the stopping power it delivers. It definitely ticks all boxes for performance and it鈥檚 great that EBC have developed this kit as there is not much in the market for the ST150. So having a big name like EBC puts confidence in the driver as, at the end of the day, brakes are a safety component.

鈥淚 test drove a Fiesta ST150 with a Focus ST170 brake setup installed, and where they were better than stock, the EBC BBK out-performed in comparison to both setups. As the car was purchased for shows and track, the kit benefits me in both ways: on track it鈥檚 good for performance and stopping power, while at shows as it鈥檚 a great conversation starter.

鈥淚 look forward to showing the BBK at shows and I look forward to see what it can do on track.鈥�

Sure, the wheels rotate slightly slower but the 鈥渢orque arm鈥� created by the oversize tyres can be between 20 and 30% more, meaning, you have to either press the brake pedal that much harder or;

1. Fit higher friction pads
2. Go for heavy-duty calipers with less flex
3. Even fit an oversize brake rotor kit.

Item 2 and 3 will cost between $500 and $2000 whereas a set of great pads such as the new EBC ED+ extra Duty pads come in below $200 for every truck out there and takes only minutes to safely install.

EBC has tested its new ED pads over a 200 stops test at a blistering 400C ( 750F ) which is about as hot as truck brakes can get and the brake effect (friction level) doesn鈥檛 move!
