EBC Racing 04-09 Volkswagen GTI (Mk5) Black Apollo-4 Calipers 330mm Rotors Front Big Brake Kit

The EBC Racing Apollo-4 Big Brake Kit is a substantial upgrade for your 2006-2009 Volkswagen GTI, featuring a two-piece 330mm disc construction designed for improved heat dissipation and consistent stopping power. This kit replaces your factory front braking components with larger, more capable parts, aiming to give you a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel. The included Black Apollo-4 calipers are a key part of this system, working in tandem with the grooved 330mm discs to handle the demands of spirited driving and track use.

Beyond the calipers and rotors, this kit also includes braided stainless steel brake lines for both the front and rear. These lines are less prone to expansion under pressure compared to rubber hoses, contributing to that improved pedal feel and more direct braking response. EBC Racing also makes sure you have all the necessary hardware to get this kit installed, so you can focus on the performance gains. While this kit focuses on the front, it also includes matching friction rear pads designed to work with your original rear calipers, ensuring a balanced braking system.

When undertaking a big brake kit installation, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's specific instructions for proper fitment and torque specifications. This kit is a significant modification, and ensuring correct installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. The two-piece rotor design means that the rotor ring can be replaced separately from the hat, which can be a cost-effective solution down the line if the rotor rings wear out.
