Give your Focus RS braking worthy of the drive

The appeal of your Focus RS is not just what happens when you accelerate. A more reassuring brake pedal makes the whole drive more rewarding. The EBC Apollo BBK008 combines four-piston front calipers with 355 mm floating discs for the listed Mk2 RS application, giving you a substantial front brake upgrade with a choice of four caliper colours.

Kit reference: BBK008. Exact SKUs for every available configuration are listed below.

Spend on control as well as appearance

The coloured calipers look the part, but their reinforced aluminium bodies are there to resist flex when you brake. The two-piece floating discs let the friction ring expand separately as it heats up, reducing thermal stress. That gives the upgrade a clear purpose beyond filling the wheels: a firmer, more responsive feel and hardware designed for demanding repeated use.

Calipers made for the way you use your car

The road calipers are designed, manufactured and assembled in the UK from heat-treated, low-pressure cast aluminium. Their two-piece bodies use grade 12.9 bridge bolts, with hard-anodised aluminium pistons, stainless-steel bleed nipples and wear plates. The material and construction put substance behind the appearance of the upgrade.

External dust boots keep road dirt and debris away from the pistons, with high-temperature EPDM fluid seals behind them. A hard-anodised body gives corrosion protection beneath the high-temperature colour coating, while the single pad-retention bolt allows quick pad changes when servicing is due.

Choose your kit

This BBK008 offer has 355 mm discs, four-piston calipers and Black, Blue, Red or Yellow caliper configurations. Match the Focus RS application and check the wheel-clearance template before ordering.

Black, Blue, Red and Yellow are the painted road-caliper choices, with external dust boots and aluminium pistons. Choose the finish you want to see behind your wheels without changing the kit specification for that version.

What is included

With the painted road configurations you receive:

  • Two Apollo front calipers in the selected road colour
  • Two fully floating two-piece front discs to the selected kit specification
  • Front brake pads
  • Stainless-steel braided brake lines
  • Vehicle-specific mounting brackets and fitting hardware
  • 1 litre of BF307+ Super DOT 4 brake fluid

Ford Focus RS (MK2) 2.5 Turbo Petrol · 305 bhp 2009-2011 Original front caliper: TRW
Original front disc diameter (mm): 336
Original front disc height (mm): 52
Original front disc new thickness (mm): 28

Fitting and looking after your brakes

Have the kit fitted by a qualified brake specialist. The installation needs clean, sound mounting surfaces, the correct hardware and torques, proper bleeding, and clearance checks through steering and suspension movement. Dust-shield removal or modification can be part of fitting; keep any vehicle-specific instructions in the application table with the job.

The road kit is designed around the original master cylinder and rear brakes. If you have changed the master cylinder or rear brake arrangement separately, have your installer check compatibility and brake balance before ordering.

Follow the fitting instructions and the bedding procedure for the supplied pad compound before demanding full performance. When rear components are supplied, fit them as part of the intended brake upgrade. Inspect pad and disc condition regularly, especially during circuit use, and keep the hydraulic system in good condition.

Frequently asked questions

Does this listing include a Race competition option?

The choices on this page are Black, Blue, Red and Yellow road calipers, all with the same 355 mm four-piston kit specification. Select the colour you want from those options.

How do I check wheel clearance?

Use the template for the exact kit version, printed at 100% scale, against the actual wheel. Wheel diameter alone does not establish spoke or caliper clearance. Send us your kit choice and wheel details if you need help arranging the check.

Why choose a floating disc?

The friction ring can expand independently of its mounting bell as it heats up. That reduces thermal stress during repeated braking and is one of the engineering differences behind a fully floating two-piece kit.

Do the four caliper colours change the brake size?

No. Black, Blue, Red and Yellow share the kit specification shown on this page. They change the road-caliper finish; the supplied disc size and piston count remain those of the selected kit.

What makes this different from changing pads and discs?

A big brake conversion includes new front calipers as well as the discs and pads. The reinforced Apollo calipers and fully floating two-piece discs change the front brake assembly itself, with the matching kit specification and fitting requirements shown above.
