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

The EBC Red Apollo-6 Big Brake Kit for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) starts with a robust 6-piston caliper design, paired with massive 380mm diameter rotors. This setup is built to handle the extreme demands of track driving and spirited road use, offering a significant upgrade over the factory braking system. The Apollo-6 calipers are forged from high-grade aluminum, then anodized for durability and a distinctive look, ensuring they can withstand the heat generated during intense braking sessions without compromising performance.

Each caliper features a balanced piston arrangement to ensure even pad wear and consistent braking force across the entire rotor surface. The 380mm rotors are vented and grooved, with the grooves helping to dissipate heat and gas buildup, which keeps the pads biting effectively even under heavy load. This combination dramatically improves stopping power and fade resistance, giving you more confidence when pushing your Type-R to its limits. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the front axle, simplifying installation.

This kit includes everything needed for the front axle installation: the Red Apollo-6 calipers, 380mm vented and grooved rotors, high-performance brake pads specifically chosen to work with this caliper and rotor combination, and braided stainless steel brake lines. The braided lines resist expansion under pressure, providing a firmer pedal feel compared to standard rubber hoses. While this kit is a comprehensive upgrade, always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific torque values and procedures to ensure proper fitment and function.
