All-new six-piston big brake kit offers one giant leap forwards for the performance braking market

91´«Ã½ Racing’s Apollo Big Brake Kits represent the ultimate upgrade when it comes to improving stopping power.

Complete with stunning, British-engineered six-piston calipers and all the hardware you need to completely replace all equivalent components of the front axle of your vehicle’s stock braking system, these complete kits give a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel and allow you to drive much longer without the onset of brake fade.

Apollo Big Brake Kits are also supplied with front braided brake lines and high-performance fluid, ensuring a brake upgrade that delivers maximum braking performance.

These kits are now available for the F8X-series BMW M car range – some of the most celebrated road/track sports cars of the last decade, making them the ideal vehicles to benefit from such an upgrade.

Key Features

  • EBC’s lightweight-yet-strong aluminium 6-piston brake caliper
  • Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design)
  • Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging)
  • High-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals give maximum protection against road grime and debris
  • Lightweight, hard-anodised aluminium staggered pistons with serrated/castellated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics
  • Every single brake caliper pressure tested to 2,500psi
  • Full stainless-steel hardware and fittings, providing durability and longevity – this caliper will never rust
  • Uses standard pad shapes, giving choice when selecting brake pads
  • Rather than a powder-coated finish, all Apollo calipers use an advanced high-temperature Teflonâ„¢ polyester coating process to ensure they look great for much longer. Currently available in Stealth Black, Storm Shadow Blue, Luminous Yellow and Racing Red

High-performance road/track component now available for the rear axle of F8X-series M Cars

91´«Ã½ Racing’s acclaimed two-piece fully floating disc has been available for the front axle of the ever-popular F8X-Series (2014-2021) BMW M2/M3/M4 models for some time now and has unsurprisingly proven to be a best-seller.

The Northampton-based firm is now expanding on this range with a matching disc for the rear axle of these sports cars – a product that is available now from your local EBC stockist.

The 370x24mm version of EBC’s much-loved two-piece floating disc that can be bolted directly onto the rear axle of all F8X-series M2, M3 and M4 models (apart from those sporting optional carbon ceramic brakes), offering impressive braking performance and longevity.

With these vehicles designed to be driven hard on road and track, this upgrade is a valuable addition to the 91´«Ã½ Racing range.

Application List

Suitable for the rear axle of:

– F87 BMW M2 (inc. Competition and CS models) (2016- )

– F80 BMW M3 (inc. Competition and CS models) (2014-2021)

– F82 BMW M4 (inc. Competition and CS models) (2014-2021)

– F83 BMW M4 (inc. Competition and CS models) (2014-2021)

(PLEASE NOTE: Not suitable for vehicles with the optional carbon ceramic brake upgrade installed)

Key Features

– EBC’s 370x24mm two-piece fully floating discs are a simple bolt-on upgrade that seamlessly replace the original ‘pin-drive’ brake discs without vehicle modification.

– Unlike the stock pin-drive discs which do not float, EBC’s SG2F fully floating rotor allows the outer cast-iron friction ring to expand freely with temperature, totally eliminating disc warping.

– Discs are grooved unlike the original rotors which are perforated. This allows the pad to vent without the holes becoming epicentres for disc cracking.

– Race-derived G3500-grade high-carbon cast iron is used for the friction rings. This high-quality metallurgy possesses greater crack resistance and an increased ability to conduct and then radiate heat.

– Aluminium bells are machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and then hard anodised for longevity, whereas the stock brake rotors use uncoated cast aluminium bells.

– Cast iron friction rings feature 48 curved vanes and are handed for each side of the vehicle. This significantly improves the brake disc’s ability to radiate heat, increasing brake system endurance and prolonging the onset of brake fade.

– Bobbins are machined from stainless steel which cannot rust, ensuring the disc continues to float freely throughout its entire life cycle on the vehicle, even on road cars.

– Spring clips ensure totally silent operation and eliminate off-brake disc rattle.

– Friction rings can be replaced individually after they have become worn, allowing the aluminium bell and stainless-steel bobbins to be re-used, leading to lower long-term operating costs.
