EBC Racing 15-21 Volkswagen GTI Mk7 Red Apollo-4 Calipers 355mm Rotors Front Big Brake Kit

If you're looking to significantly improve your 2013-2019 Volkswagen Golf's braking performance, this EBC Racing Big Brake Kit is a solid choice. It replaces your factory front brake setup with larger, more capable components designed to handle more heat and provide a firmer, more responsive pedal feel. This kit is built around EBC's Red Apollo-4 calipers, which are a four-piston design, paired with substantial 355mm two-piece rotors. The rotors feature a swept groove pattern, which helps to keep the pad surface clean and dissipate heat more effectively during hard braking. The kit also includes braided stainless steel brake lines for both the front and rear, which are less prone to expansion under pressure than rubber lines, further contributing to that improved pedal firmness.

Beyond the calipers and rotors, this kit comes with everything you need to get it installed. That includes matching friction rear pads designed to work with your original rear calipers, ensuring a balanced braking system. The two-piece rotor construction means the aluminum hat is separate from the iron braking surface, allowing for better thermal management and reducing the risk of rotor warping. EBC Racing is known for producing well-built brake components, and this kit is no exception, offering a significant upgrade over stock for spirited driving or track use. Installation involves replacing the front calipers, rotors, and brake lines, and also swapping out your rear pads.
