EBC Racing 17-21 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) Black Apollo-6 Calipers 380mm Rotors Front Big Brake Kit

The EBC Racing Apollo-6 Big Brake Kit for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) starts with its 6-piston Apollo calipers, forged from a single piece of aluminum for maximum rigidity. This solid foundation is crucial for consistent braking performance, especially under demanding conditions. The kit is designed to work with 380mm rotors, providing a larger swept area and improved heat dissipation compared to the factory setup. This means you get more reliable stopping power when you need it most, whether on the track or during spirited driving.

Each Apollo caliper features EBC's unique vented bridge design, which helps to reduce caliper flex and improve piston retraction. This contributes to a firmer pedal feel and helps prevent brake drag. The calipers are finished in a durable black powder coat for a clean look and added protection. Inside the kit, you'll find everything needed to upgrade your front braking system, including the calipers, high-performance brake pads, and the large 380mm two-piece rotors. The two-piece rotor design allows for better thermal management, as the aluminum hat can dissipate heat independently from the iron friction ring.

This kit is a significant upgrade for the FK8 Civic Type-R, offering a substantial improvement in braking performance and fade resistance. It's a well-built system designed for drivers who push their cars hard and demand the best from their braking components. While installation requires some mechanical aptitude, it's a direct bolt-on upgrade that doesn't require any modifications to your vehicle's existing brake lines or mounting points. Ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully for optimal results.
